direct use of my_mail() function vs mailqueue

[Beardy]

Try using htmlspecialchars() on the message variable instead of $db->escape_string.

Actually, that'll display some characters weird in the e-mail since it won't be displaying HTML. strip_tags() might be better.

I did something like this with strip_tags() and received the e-mail fine:

PHP Code:

$message = strip_tags("asd
message on a new line

blank line above<br />");

my_mail(
    "[email protected]", 
    "This is a subject", 
    $message, 
    "John Doe"."<[email protected]>",
    "", "", false, "text", "", 
    "[email protected]"
);
