formating an email's contents (problem with apostrophes) when its sent via form

sois

Hi all,

I made a script where I type a subject and body in a form. When it is passed to the next page (where i actually do the emailing), I can't figure out how to format the text.

I have done this so far:

// my stupid way of formatting
$dio = "<html><pre>";

// variables passed : $subject, $body
$body = $dio . $body;

// header stuff
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html ; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: MAA <ttu_maa@yahoo.com>\r\nBcc: $to";

// mesage sent!
print "Message Sent!";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

I am satisfied with this, but when it posts to the email, all the apostrophies are preceeded by a .

For example, don't appears as don\'t.

Am I doing my emailer in a stupid manner? What I am trying to do is make a simple email script.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: The backslash also appears when I use ". Such as I am \"cool\".

EDIT 2: Are there any other symbols that cause this?

Thanks Shryku!

I searched over and over for the solution, i tried about 10 different funcitons!!

One other thing, i use a form to do my email script.

I type it on one page and then submit it to a "thank you, message has been sent" page.

When I type it, I put it in a paragraph format, but in the email, it is all on one line. How do I keep the paragraph formating.

This message board
can
do
it just
fine.

See? How
Do I do this?

This is the only problem I have left!!! Thanks !!!
