				| 
 |  
				| This line.. 
 mail('[email protected]', 'thesubject', $Description, 'From: ' . $Email . "\n");
 
 ..is returning true but not sending the email. I send it & check my email, and nothing's there. $Description and $Email are both non-empty variables. At the end of the header, I've tried both "\r\n" and "\n", neither of which produce successful results. Help?

				| your header isn't right, try something like this: 
  	  | Code: |  	  | "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\nFrom:".$email."\nReply-To:".$email |

 $message = "themessage";
 $headers = "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\nFrom:" . $Email . "\nReply-To:" . $Email;
 mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

				| Does php.ini have a line called STMP ? You might need to check your STMP server working properly

				| You need to install sendmail, or another SMTP server. |  |
