What mail sending routines are you using? If you're using the 'mail' function, first simplify your test case. Try something like the following: $email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $subject = 'This is the subject'; $headers = "From: $email\r\nReply-To: $email"; $message = "This is a message\nwith multiple\nlines\nof\ntext\n"; mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers); Note that the headers should use "\r\n" as opposed to just "\n" (technically you should use the linebreak indicated by the server but that's more involved). If that works, then narrow down the difference with trial and error. If it doesn't work, get a packet capture, open it with WireShark and verify the content of the outgoing message. If the message is screwed up going out that narrows down things quite a bit.
