Have you considered viewing the result in something other than HTML?
(or using the "view source" function of your browser?) I believe
the string really is there; you <dead cat> just don't see it
<dead cat> in a browser <dead cat>. When you read this, how many
dead cats are there in the previous sentence? There are three.

If you want to output this string on a web page and *only* on a
web page, try:
$strAddressee = "$ContactName <$ContactEmail>";
but if you put that in mail headers it will probably screw up.
