Ron, The email subject line should not have a <br /> tag in it at all. It is not allowed under the specifications if I remember correctly. I would suggest that when you suck the message in, first thing to do is to remove the <br /> tag with str_replace... Would this get you on your way?

Every now and then the subject line is broken with something like a <br /> and so I have a handful of messages that need to be indexed manually. IE my script can't see a "Subject: Correspondence for message 123" --- it is being received as "Subject: Correspondence for <br />message 123" I am trying to update the mySQL table with a form instead of continuing to use phpmyadmin to do these updates. > > What I am wanting to do in my form is call up all the incoming messages that have a message value of 0 and I can read through the incoming message to see what their reference number is and type it in the field that I have called "new_correspondence_received".
