Hi guys,

I'm having problems with my AskACatholic question form.

When someone's Ask A Catholic on this page:
the texts gets cut off, somewhere after the preview but before the thank-you page.
On the preview page it's all there:
#ParagraphFormat(question)#
The code for the processing for the Thank-you action page is here:
The whole file is attached to this question.
                     <CFSET form_element_qualified = "FORM." & form_element>
   
                     <!--- Append it to message body --->
     
                     <CFSET message_body = message_body & "<hr color='blue' align='center' width='550'>" & "<b>" & fullname & "</b> wrote:<blockquote> "& ParagraphFormat(Evaluate(form_element_qualified)) & "</blockquote>" & CRLF>
  
                     <!--- And add it to the processed list --->
                     <CFSET fieldnames_processed = ListAppend(fieldnames_processed, form_element)>

I've attached the custom tag.


Do you have any idea why the questioners input is being cut off after so many characters?
In CF 5.0 how do I tell CF I want an unlimited text box field.
Try it if you want and just put in a lot of dummy data:

    CF 5 don't care how long your text field is.  Neither did CF 4.5, CF6 nor any other version.

    Something in your logic is cutting off text.
