Sander,

this is a bug and has nothing to do with support. 
It shouldn't put escape characters in the e-mails.

I'm getting the same problem as carl-fox, and I'm running Win2k

Please respond with a fix.

Thanks

mail() improperly escapes single and double quotes.  For example:   ' 

   appears as   \'   (as when an apostrophe
   is in the email text, like    " person's  automobile"  shows up as
   "person\'s automobile".  The email sent contains the escaped
character
   with the \ in front of it instead
