RE: Email Script
1. You don't need to prepend 'From: ' to the from address.
2. $attn = $attn - of course it does, why is that line in there in the first place?
Other than that, I can't see any problems.

RE: Email Script
Ugh that code is horrible , I dont have time to help you rewrite it now.. maybe in the morning but.

1) getenv is dodgy use $_SERVER insted
2) why are you posting things which you can get from the  sendemail.php page , REMOTE_ADDR , HTTP_USER_AGENT and HTTP_REFERER.
2) The use of global variables on the second page is blah... use $_POST['variable_name']
3) Even if your code fails it still sends the email.... so if global variables are turned off on your server (notice errors  ftw :P) then all those variables wont exist and they will all be empty so when you go to use them it will email blank variables

yes you do ... that field is "Extra headers" so hes adding the from header.

code:
bool mail ( string to, string subject, string message [, string additional_headers [, string additional_parameters]] )

Ah, OK, I couldn't remember exactly. I was doing it from memory.
