I have a form on this page http://elitetradesmen.com/Job%20descriptions/101.php everything submits fine apart from one thing. When i receive the email from the submitted form the £ sign which is entered in the quote field always has a  in front of it. Is this something to do with the char set assigned to the feild. Any help which will resolve this annoying problem would be much appreciated.
