html mail class eating leading character

[Anon]

I got an html class, but the output is eating " and the first leading character following from the HTML code...

ie was <a href="http://128.121.225.29....>
comes through as <a href=ttp://128.121.225.29...>

following is the whole goddamn class, i have no clue why it is eating the leading characters...... any ideas would be of great help. The variables passed to the functions escape " with \ and there is a function in the class which might be messing with it, unfortunately i have no idea how to fix the problem.

//	----- DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------
//
//	MimeMail 1.0
//	by Michel Heemskerk, [e-mail]
//
//	PHP class for sending advanced email messages.



//	----- CONFIGURATION ------------------------------------------
//
//	These variables depend on your system's configuration. Change
//	them if necessary.

// $MIMETYPE_FILE = "/home/sites/site104/phplib/mime.types";

$MIMETYPE_FILE = "/usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/mime.types";
// $MIMETYPE_FILE = "/usr/lib/mime.types";


//	----- MANUAL -------------------------------------------------
//
//	Step 1.
//	Include and initiate the class like this:
//
//		include("mimemail.php");
//		$mimemail = new mimemail;
//
//	Step 2.
//	Set optional variables. These must be set before the send()
//	function is called.
//
//		$mimemail->subjectprefix = "offtopic";
//
//		When this variable is set, it's contents will be placed
//		in front of the message subject like this:
//		"[offtopic] this is the subject"
//
//		$mimemail->from = "[e-mail]";
//
//		When set, this address will appear in the From: header. If
//		not, it will appear as "current_user@http_host".
//
//		$mimemail->replyto = "[e-mail]";
//
//		Ditto. If not set, it will use the value of the "from"
//		variable.
//
//		$mimemail->signature = file("sig.txt");
//		$mimemail->signature = $signature;
//
//		The signature can be defined using two different ways: as
//		an existing file (use the file() function as shown above)
//		or as a variable or string.
//
//		$mimemail->formatting = "text";
//
//		This specifies the format in which mail is sent. Use
//		"html" to send HTML messages and "text" to send in plain
//		text. "te->xt" is default.
//
//		$mimemail->attachment = "image.gif";
//
//		This specifies a file to be attached to the mail message.
//		Just use the filename, as shown above.
//
//	Step 3.
//	Send the message by calling the send() function like this:
//
//		$mimemail->send($ADDRESS,$SUBJECT,file("mail.txt"));
//		$mimemail->send($ADDRESS,$SUBJECT,$MESSAGE);
//
//		Like the signature, the message contents can be specified
//		in two different ways: as an existing file (use the file()
//		function as shown above), or as a variable or string.



//	----- DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE ----------------------------
