Well... to an extent.
But I gotta say - I almost never approach one of my broken routines with
foreknowledge of how it broke. I'm almost as surprised when it breaks
as I am shocked when it works. :)

I presume that you do not use a motor vehicle to get somewhere
then ? <g>

Ha! I have this vision of a Little Rascals racer - with 2 car tires, a
bicycle wheel, and a wooden wagon wheel.

I don't know what could be wrong because I do not use PHPMailer, but
maybe it is not composing the messages properly for the recipients that
are not getting the messages.

Anyway, I use this other popular MIME message class which takes care of
properly encoding messages to avoid situations that could make the
messages being discard by some mail programs and servers. You may want
to try it and let me know if you still have the same problems.
