I see the difference. In my code, I'm actually relying on quotes to contain the mail body, as it often contains content that doesn't appear in the variable. (ie: "Feedback from: $user_name\nIP Address: $ip_address\nEtc: $etc"). Your code puts all of this into a body first, making quote unnecessary. So perhaps my solution is not to find some way to strip the slashes, but, instead, to put all of the data into a single variable that doesn't need to be wrapped in quotes. Thanks, Brett.
