No it shouldn't, unless you have register_globals turned On. Which most 
hosts don't (and shouldn't) do.

The problem is the simple fact that the variable $MessageSubject is not 
defined until 4 lines farther into the script. Changing the variable to 
$_POST['MessageSubject'] (and concatenating using the concatenation 
operator (the period: '.' )) should fix this for you.

If Michael had E_NOTICE errors turned on, he would see an E_NOTICE: 
"Undefined variable" on line 6. Apparently, he doesn't show E_NOTICEs 
either.
