I encountered a problem with Microsoft email clients. When you use the mail() function (alteast when on a UNIX server), the "Date Sent" field is blank. That created a problem for our clients who are used to sort emails by the date recieved. To overcome this, you need to specify the "Date" header in a special format. Adding the following code will make it work. $date = date("D, j M Y H:i:s O"); $headers = "Date: ".$date."\r\n"; $emailto = "musawir@ali.tf"; mail(emailto,"Hello","Check the date please.",$headers); You can add extra headers by just concatenating to the $headers string variable. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17817 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17817 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17817
