Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

If you use SEND_MAIL, some random text might be added to the mail-text. E.g. there is an extra line behind the text with zeros only. What and if there is extra text depends on what script-functions are executed beforehand and is not predictable. The problem does not occur when quoting the mail body "&text#".
