Why does HTML email appear normally sometimmes, and sometimes not?
Hello,
I have signed up a for a Google Gmail account. I sent myself some PHP-generated HTML emails from two different machines using this code: $to = "dave@gmail.com"; $id = 1234; $from = "sender@suppressed.com"; $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n" . "From: $from\r\n" . "X-Mailer: PHP " . phpversion() . "\r\n" . "Reply-to: $from"; $body = "<html><head></head><body><a href='cbssportsline.com'>Link</a><BR><b>Hello</b></body></html>"; if (!mail($to, "hello", $body, $headers)) { die("Email delivery to $to failed.\n"); } // if When I send the email from my dev box, the HTML displays normally on Gmail. However, when I upload the same code to my hosting company and send an email, I open my gmail email and there's no HTML formatting whatsoever. Here's what I see: Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: sender@suppressed.com X-Mailer: PHP 4.3.9 Reply-to: sender@suppressed.com <html><head></head><body><a href='cbssportsline.com'>Link</a><BR><b>Hello</b></body></html> The sender reads "(unknown sender)". Why do I see HTML-formatted text some times and not others? How should I go about debugging this problem? Thanks for your help, - Dave

Here's what I see: That looks like one of the mail function bugs. You may want to try this class that implements workarounds for some of the problems. It also lets you compose and send HTML messages properly. The way you did it may lead to messages never arriving for instance to Hotmail accounts and other places. http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html

Re: Why does HTML email appear normally sometimmes, and sometimes not?
sending html email is fine
it's a standard now. (thank heck MS rtf is falling out) newsgroups are plain text, and email is html. Too common to just "not do it" imho "Brandon Blackmoor" <bblackmoor@blackgate.net> wrote in message news:2u76bvF26uqa5U2@uni-berlin.de... > Do not send HTML email. Period.
