I took out the wordwrap on the sending side and I still get 16 (I counted
now) spaces before the first character. After that it is fine. When I went
to cut and paste to here, it looked like only one character.

Here is an example:

I am going to type this so that it has word wrap and will also have
new paragraphs. It takes time to compose this so I amd going to
simply cut and paste.

So I did a $message = substr($message, 1);

What happened was that the "I" at the beginning disappeared and it now had
17 spaces (since the first in the text is also a space).

Now 16 is a curious number (2 bytes), so I suspect something is going on
with the first two bytes that are invisible to a substr(), but show up in an
echo.

Anyone?
