texte = >The problem is that while I can get everything to work just great for display on the web, when I try to push the data through SENDMAIL, things like quote marks (), ampersands (&) and such get converted into HTML entities, and/or truncate the field.1- Get rid of all those [input] contexts in your sendmail context. [input] is only useful inside a

field in order to make the enclosed field data display properly with the original line breaks.2- Inside the body portion of your sendmail context, put any field you captured with a <textarea> inside a [convertchars db=customconversions.db] context, then create a customconversions.db that replaces only the problematic characters and nothing more.3- If that doesn't work, try also using wrap=hard in your <textarea> field instead of wrap=virtual, that fixed something I was doing like this once, I just don't remember exactly what it was right now ...Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net
