That makes perfect sense. And it happens to be *EXACTLY* right,
I'm running the CGI in <PRE> </PRE> tags to test the output before I
start
"mailing" it, etc.
I was running into the exact same problem today at work, and
the HTML browser "fouling" the output'd variables fits the symptoms
perfectly.
It's so simple of a explaination, and perfect of a explaination, that
I can't
think of any reason to doubt it.
I'll redirect to a log file, and see how that goes....
THANKS!
