However not all clients handle the one-or-the-other scenario. So your 'problem' may be with the particular client, or may be with the MIME encoding. Recommend a visit to http://ww.phpguru.org/ and adapt/upgrade to the MIME and SMTP classes there (download includes a set of examples - one sounds just like your construction). Have no complaints with my service/combined HTML and simple-text messages, built on these classes! Regards, =dn
