I agree with Richard, sending the messages as plain text may reduce your
chances of having your messages confused with spam.
But even plain text messages can be confused of spam often for not being
well-formed according to e-mail standards.
It is hard to tell what you may be doing wrong without seeing your code.
Anyway, I recommend you this popular PHP MIME message class that I use
that knows how to send e-mail standards compliant messages:
