Dynamically instantiating vars does not trigger a notice even in E_ALL mode, that's an exception to the rule. I agree that it makes reading your code easier but in this special case where headers contents might be different from one mail to another (Spam-Level, Spam-Flag, etc) it makes sense not to try to have all of them declared. It is interesting though to have the smallest common denominator declared just to be sure those values are available. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
