Phantom exclamation mark in email form HELP!!!!

[Sterre]

HELP I am creating a webform. This form is sent using CGI.
Now the email that is sent has a phantom exclamation mark. This mark appears out if nowhere in the form. When I look in source of the sent email I can see the exclamation mark at the end of each line. The code is concatenated into one line. This is a pain in the *%$
I do not know how to solve this. Could not find much help on the web as well.
Starting to get desperate here.

I hope I make sense to anyone.
Thank you

Sterre,

How about posting a link to the form and posting the complete text of your output email.

I can do nothing to help before you supply this infomation. I'm also moving this posting to the Perl Seection.

Hi Compyguy Pete,
I found on the net someone with a similar problem..unfortunately you must subscribe to see the solution: here is his description of the problem:

Title: How can I code my ASP so it the resulting email wraps seamlessly, minus a roving exclamation point?
asked by IUFITS on 03/15/2006 04:38PM PST





I have an html site that is a form. I have an ASP script that emails what users supply on the form to a worker bee. The form works great. The resulting email looks pretty good except for a roving exclamation point and sometimes corresponding bits of html code. The roving depends on how much text is added to the form.

From what I can tell (right mouse click on the body of the email, left mouse click on View Source, LMC on Format - then Wordwrap) the exclamation point marks where second and third lines are created.

For example the roving ! looks like this in the body of the email:
OrigLog text Last Run! Date 12/15/2005


When I View Source the end of the first line I see:
<font SIZE='2'>Last Run!

This is exactly my problem. Can't send link the url...bit of a security issue.
Hope this gives more insight in my problem
Thanks
