@sbillard, I only just got round to working on this, I removed echo htmlspecialchars($msg,ENT_QUOTES); which seems to have worked - thanks.

Regarding the the possible line breaks in the verification email link, I have taken the line into BBedit to look at it but cannot see any line breaks. It actually ceases to be a link right after the domain, so in the message you get http://www.domain.net as the link but /index.php? onwards is just text. Any you sure something isn't going wrong in the generation of the link?

Thanks

Steve

There are no line breaks in the original message. Often mail clients will insert line breaks to be "helpful" to you for reading the message. It is a common problem with e-mailing links.

Apples Mail likes to do this with long url as well.

Thanks, I guess I just have to hope my users think to copy and paste the whole link in to the browser.
