    Default Textarea is cut off.

    I have created a form that works great, the only problem is that the input in the text area is getting cut off when the form emails the info.

    I end up with an ! right at the end.

    Why is this happening?

    Default Re: Textarea is cut off.

    Are you losing the lines in one or both text fields?

    There is a limit on text I think this is the one to not cut it off.
    HTML Code:
    <input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="KeepLines" />
    If you are not using HTML for the mailed message that might help. Try the KeepLines first it is easy.

    Have you tried increasing MAXSTRING in formmail? It's around line 3,740.

    Thumbs up Re: Textarea is cut off.

    I had the same problem. Had no success with "Keeplines", but MAXSTRING did the trick. Only needed to find first instance in FormMail.php and change its value to a higher one. Thanks Nisitiiapi. Can also add that "Virtual" is the best setting for "Wrap" relative to TextArea properties.
