Im just shooting in the dark here....

<![endif]-->

Do an echo of $strLastName and see if it is displayed on the page....if it is not on the page it is being added in the header or body of the e-mail message.

A proper HTML comment does start with <!--

Though I don't know if that's the cause either. You should just not use a separate CSS file to "handle" IE6. You can write CSS styles that will work for all browsers.

So far I narrowed down to the email software problem which can't wrap stuff. Now the problem is how do i solve it.

I used a \n after the first line which took care of the Last Name issue but Since my result will be a big table after few lines that ! comes back

If i do a view source on my emai i get this:

<strong>State: </stron!

g>Missouri</td>

Where you can see its putting that ! sign and I am thinking its becuse outlook goes to 2nd line or something...

Can anyone tell me how to solve this.

I want to force \n after each </td> but if i put \n the page doesn't work...
