    I am able to enter text into a textarea, save it to the database and send that text in an email later using the following line:

    $message= stripslashes($this->settings[message_text']);

    I want to be able to enter HTML into the textarea and send it to the email. Simple <br> <a href> etc.

    How should I change this line to output as HTML?

    Thanks for your time!!!

    This line does not send any emails. What does $message contain after pulling it from the database? Is the HTML stripped our before entering or after pulling it?

    You have to change the content-type headers in the actual function that sends the mail. This line of code does not help.

    Right now the database is preserving the html that I enter in the textarea, if that helps. Here's an example straight from the database:

    A cool search engine is<br><a href=\"http://google.com\">Google!</a>

    I've got it figured out guys, thanks. The problem was the MIME type.
