I have successfully gotten the Tell a Friend sample to work with my website but have a slight problem. If a word containing an apostrophe is included in the message, it is received with a backslash in front of it in the email.

i.e. web form message: Don't use apostrophes.
email message received: Don't use apostrophes.

How can I avoid having the backslash present when the user adds a custom message?

Thanks

Thanks for the response! How would I go about doing that? Just for clarity, the form itself would have to correct the problem and not the user. In other words, I can't have a visitor type in some adjustment that would correct the problem. I don't think that's what you meant, though.

Would your solution result in the email message looking correct or simply adding a blank space as opposed to the backslash?

i.e... Desired result = Don't use apostrophes.
Does your solution = Don 't use apostrophes as opposed to Don't use apostrophes or would it result in the desired message?

Sorry for the lack of understanding.

Thanks
Tom

Not sure what language you are using but in CF you use the #PreserveSingleQuote# command as the apostrophe is being 'escaped'
