ASP Form Removing Special Characters

[mdumka]

Hello,

I have a simple form to send an email ... works just fine.

But when the contents of the textarea contain a special character they get removed ... does anyone know why?

Example: Here’s >> Heres

Hi mdumka

Sounds to me like there is some code in your email routine that is stripping out the characters. Have you tried writing the textarea string to the screen before it is sent to the mail server to start your error checking.

[mdumka]

Yeah ... Wrote to the screen and the character is gone.

As for the form. Just submitting a text area ... I am lost.

Hi mdumka
So it stripped the characters before it was sent to the email server. Can you write it at its earliest point, let's say as soon as it hits your mail routine before any work is done.

Did you write this code?
