I just came up with a reason!

Your server likely has "magic_quotes_gpc" set to on, which automatically
escapes quotes with slashes upon form submission.

So, stripslashes() from the values rather than from the form.

as an example, your line (which is **bad** code anyways)...

$subject = "$_POST[subject]";

.... should be written as

$subject = stripslashes($_POST['subject']);




see ya
