I see. It seems like, asking the users to copy from Word to Notepad then to the textarea is not really an option so I guess you really need to find a way how to fix it.
How about Manuel Lemos' advice posted earlier? BTW, I was just wondering if you've also considered that the problem might be on the mail client side itself. Because you said that "not all mail clients..." so at least on some it worked. When you said that with Notepad there's no problem, did you mean that ALL mail clients worked as you expected? Also, I wonder what these "pasted text" are. Perhaps, you can give some samples? I don't really think that I can be of so much help but I'm just curious... - E PS Just in case you haven't seen it. I think, there's a related topic discussed in phpbuilder.com.
