Hi Ron "<br />" is perfectly legitimate in an e-mail header field like "Subject:". All headers may contain any combination of ASCII characters except CR and LF which are used to terminate the field (See RFC8222 section 2.2). There is also defined a means to "fold" lines which involves using the CR+LF+white-space combination to indicate multiple line entries. Is it possible your e-mail header fields are doing this and your access to the headers does not take this possibility into account? Without your POP handling code it's impossible to say whether this is your problem or not. -- Niel Archer -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
