---- Change this: echo "<textarea name='headers' cols='250' rows='5'><PRE>",HtmlSpecialChars($headers[$line]),"</PRE></textarea>'"; For echo "<textarea name='headers' cols='250' rows='5'><PRE>".HtmlSpecialChars($headers[$line])."</PRE></textarea>'"; Which should display. ---- I tried this a few days ago. All it outputs is the "PRE" HTML tags. even replacing the ',' with '.' . That's what I thought would need to be done to get it to work. But it won't display it however it displays in in plain text out of the box. Feel free to download and try the script yourself. You can find the address from my previous posts on this message board. Something is obviously blocking it for going into a text box as someone mentioned once before. The author is refusing to help maybe because the author does not know a fix. Which is odd, they wrote the script and claim they use a similar method to handle their mailing list bounces. Doubtful. Anyways, I have been redirected to try using "SMTP" connection. Does anyone know much about this usage? J http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals New people, new possibilities.
