Echo the $message string as you send it, to make sure it contains what you think it contains. $messagepart2 = (echo $salutation); is probably not what you meant. Try $messagepart2 = $salutation; instead. What additional headers are you sending? BTW, if the email address is coming from the outside world (your text implies that), then your form can be used as part of a DoS attack. >The $salutation comes from the form and is handed over correctly, but the >syntax for to display the value of the variable in the html e-mail seems to >be the problem...
