If you can't show the code, I can't help you. That's like saying "I got a problem with my car, it doesn't start, but I can't let you see the car. So what's wrong with it?"

groovything

can you copy and paste the e-mail content with the unwanted "!" in it.

you could do a string replace on the unwanted chars, but it would also remove exclaimation marks that might be part of the content.

If the unwanted chars always show up in a specific fashion, you might be able to remove them witout affecting the desired ones.

Like if they looked like "!!!" you could replace them with:

$message = str_replace ("!!!","", $message);

groovything

does $message have an initial value? because according to your posted code, this is what $message will output:

<html>
<body>
<META content='text/html; charset=windows-1252' http-equiv=Content-Type>
<head>
<title>XYZ.com Entertainment E x t e n d e d
</title>
<title>XYZ.com Entertainment E x t e n d e d
</title>
<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\">
<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=http://www.setindia.com/main.css type=\"text/css\">
</head>

If it does have a value it will just add it before this code which is not properly formatted html
