Re: Mail Headers & Formatting

Nick, Thank you for your reply. I have looked at the RFC's and they are just too wordy without examples. I was hoping to find a nice hyperlinked html page with complete docs and examples...that may be hoping for too much:). I'll be using this to generate auto-responding email messages. I'd like to format them with the style of my website. I don't need too much, I just want to know what the capabilities are. Another programmer on the list said he would send me some code, so that should be a good starting point. Steven J.

Can someone tell me where to find documentation on defining mail headers and formatting? I've been to faqs.org, but was hoping to find something a bit more friendly.

Hi Steve, thought I'd reply offlist as my answer isn't really so hot and I'm intereted to see what others say. You need to look at the RFC? the email standard in general to get info on headers, I suggest a google search on 'request for comments' I'm sure you'll find the right place. What is it you want to do? If you just want to add some common ones to the mail() comand you do it buy specifying the fourth parameter like this: $extra="Reply-To: nick@explodingnet.com"; mail($to, $subj, $msg, $extra); HTH - -- - -----------------------------------------------------------
