I've got a strange problem and have no idea what's causing it. I made a form for a website I built and am using FormMail to process it. Everything works fine when using a MAC, but when tested on a PC (so far IE and FireFox), I get an error saying there are 'bad header field' or something.

You can go to www.peckinpaughfinancial.com/contact.html to get to the form. If you've got a PC, give it a try.

HELP! I'm out of ideas!
 
Got bad news for you... It doesn't work using a Mac, either.

Did you read the "Bad Header Fields" message?

If you did, you would know that it is telling you the fields recipient, email, realname and subject had invalid values. IOW, in your form, they are defined as required fields, and when someone submits the form without filling in those fields, they get that error message. Always. Mac or PC. Or Linux/Unix/Amiga/Commodore.

If you want to keep those fields as required fields, you should A) visually label them as required, and B) use some javascript to run pre-submission validation on them so that you can give users a friendlier error message -- because they will submit the form without filling in the required fields.
