I've made a PHP booking system for a cabin that's beeing rented out, and I use HTML mails for confirmation and stuff. but;
on some mail adresses the mail is not processed as an HTML mail, the headers and all is shown as plain text.. -argh-
I know that it has nothing to do with the e-mail client, cause I sent it to two different adresses that I myself uses, and on one of them, it worked just as it should, and on the other one I got a plain text e-mail with loads of html clutterd around, and with the MIME headers on top.
Are there anyone out here with the knowledge to help me?

Are you telling the PHP script manualy to send out the emails in HTML format?

Some emails can not recieve html emails. Thats why when you signup for a newsletter then have either html or text.


If you are telling the script, then I suggest doing the above, and offering the user one of the two.

The PHP manual has extensive examples of the proper use of mail() like here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

So anyway, you just need to include the content type header so the mail programs know that it is a text/html or multipart message. cheers.
