Hi Murray,

Try doing something like this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
$body = "From: $name
Email: $email
IP Address: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

Feedback:

$feedback
";

$fromaddr = "$email
Reply-To: $email
X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();

mail("planetthoughtful@gmail.com", "Feedback", $body, $fromaddr);
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't tested this 'actual' piece of code, but I've used similar in other
emailing scripts.

Regards,
Richie !
