Email was not originally designed for sending anything but text. Everything
else has been grafted on afterwards.
In fact, sending html email is generally a Bad Idea unless recipients can
opt out of it -- Many recipients can't read html email, others throw it away
immediately for security reasons, etc.
I believe you need to send the HTML as an attachment.
See Manuel Lemos' mail class at upperdesign.com (?) to see how that's done.
