Re: mail with html

You just need to have the proper MIME information deopending on what exactly you are trying to do. Also, the HTML must be in Quoted Printable Format. If you have PHP configured with imap you can just run your message through the imap_8bit function (or so I am told... I didn't have that luxury =P ). If not you just need to read the MIME specifications for quoted printable and follow all the rules. The rules for quoted printable can be found in section 5.1 of this document http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1521.html or section 6.7 of this document http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html The other piece of advice I have to offer (having just finished a fairly large mail program myself) is to send yourself html messages in whatever mail reader you use and then telnet to your mail server and look at them there. That should at least give you an idea of what your message should look like.
