The data from my form is showing up in the Header of my email message. How did that happen?

This sometimes happens when a blank line has not been inserted between the format email statement and the format picture in a form configuration file, as in this example:

format email to myaddress@somewhere.com from $email_addr name "$name"

Comments:
$comments
.

If there is no blank line here, then there is a chance that the mailer program will interpret some characters in the first line of your message as belonging to the Header. Inserting the blank line will solve the problem.
