An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Thank you for your interest in PHP. There's already a request to rewrite the mail() for win32.

The rest of the file in which mail() is executed is ignored and there is no error message from PHP. There is no problem sending simple text messages, only with multi-part encoded messages. This problem occurs either when using the local SMTP server or a remote SMTP server, as specified in php.ini. Using Outlook Express to send email with attachments on the local SMTP server works successfully. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19720&edit=1
