Re: Mail function

Use \r\n which is spec, and unfriendly mailers from Microsoft won't "embrace and extend" enough to accept just \n which is Unix-standard. What a surprise. Oh -- it won't be HTML email. For *that* you need to send mime attachments. There are multiple functions to do this in code archives such as at Manuel Lemos' site. Note that many recipients delete HTML email unread. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
