They can also inject stuff in the "Subject" line..
You should run your name, e-mail and subject lines through a test function
like mine:
function isUnsafe($str)
{
if (eregi('Content-Type', $str))
return true;
if (eregi('multipart/mixed', $str))
return true;
if (eregi('bcc:', $str))
return true;
return false;
}
Probably isn't sufficient, but the "Content-Type" and "multipart" stuff is
dangerous.
You should also hardcode the headers yourself with "Content-Type:
text/html".
