Duh! When reading an email, you have to select format, unwrap text. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of (Margaret) Michele Waldman Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 12:26 AM To: 'NYPHP Talk' Subject: RE: [nyphp-talk] Email Pain
It seems to be a problem when the $field contains spaces. Then the carriage return is ignored. When I replace spaces with _ the formatting is correct. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of (Margaret) Michele Waldman Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 11:48 PM To: 'NYPHP Talk' Subject: RE: [nyphp-talk] Email Pain First thing I tried was \r\n. Didn't fix the problem. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael B Allen Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 11:34 PM To: NYPHP Talk Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] Email Pain On Sat, Aug 9, 2008 at 10:38 PM, (Margaret) Michele Waldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Folks, > > > > I'm working with this mail function again. > > > > Unhappily. > > > > The mail message is created using data off of an html form using radio > buttons, selects, text input, etc. > > > > The oddest thing is happening.

If you're using the 'mail' function, first simplify your test case. Try something like the following: $email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $subject = 'This is the subject'; $headers = "From: $email\r\nReply-To: $email"; $message = "This is a message\nwith multiple\nlines\nof\ntext\n"; mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers); Note that the headers should use "\r\n" as opposed to just "\n" (technically you should use the linebreak indicated by the server but that's more involved). If that works, then narrow down the difference with trial and error. If it doesn't work, get a packet capture, open it with WireShark and verify the content of the outgoing message. If the message is screwed up going out that narrows down things quite a bit.
