RE: [PHP] Mail() not setting MIME TYPE

$mail = mail("$address", "$subject", "$body", "$headers \nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 64bit" ); Hi peter, You've got a space and a newline right after the headers ($headers).. they shouldn't be there.. and i'd put a \n after 64bit I don't know if that will solve your problem, but from what i understand of headers, it should help :) by the way, make sure that your "$headers \nContent-Type: .. etc" string is all on the same line... also, why aren't you using the $headers variable for your extra header information?
