Backslashes before quotes in mailing list

I'm still using version 1.3x of Storyteller.

I've run into a problem with mailing lists. When the mailing is sent as plaintext, a backslash shows up before each " or '. For example:

When interviewed, Joe Schmoe said \"I dunno why you are asking me a question!\"

Any ideas would be appreciated! Thank you!

Brett

Backslashes before quotes in mailing list

Find in mod_mail.php this line:
$query = DBQuery("SELECT * FROM esselbach_st_mails WHERE mail_website = '$website'");


and add before:
   $newstitle = stripslashes($newstitle);

   $newstext1 = stripslashes($newstext1);


This will remove the slashes from the emails

Basically that’s how PHP parses quotes within quotes. It has to escape out the internal set of quotes with backslashes else it would think it would have to parse it as another line of code.
