texte = Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me with this. I have tested my code literally 100 times and here is what I've found. The [sendmail] won't work if the 'to' address, or the 'from' address, or = the 'subject line' has too many characters. It works fine when the subject line is 7 characters, but not 8. It works fine when the 'to' or 'from' domain is 12 characters, but not = when it is 23 characters. Unfortunately, the domain name is 23 characters. Would this be a setting that my host has set up in his email control = panel? Thanks again to all of you who wrote back to me.
