    Hi,

    When the email message gets sent to the nominated admin address is the email sent as
    text or HTML?

    The reason I ask, is that when I view the message in my webmail client it shows the message like this:

    Hi, <br<br>

    I just wanted to...

    ....so it shows HTML tags - can I enforce the message MIME type to be text/plain somewhere or is this a problem with my webmail client?

    Thanks,
    Adam

      looks like the newline characters are being converted to br's, although if you look at the message formation in process.php, i've used new lines and not br, strictly for this HTML tag issue and how various clients interpret it. You might want to play around with the mail headers (add extra headers as paramters to the mail function) and see if you can fix this.
