By the context, I'm sure it should read "...not all email clients support HTML."

Also, I had sent an email from my script to hotmail and > the HTML email worked fine there too. there are different ways to send html in an email and also very wrong ways to send html in an email; very debatable topic from what I've seen. I think your best bet is to use something like: http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ You can send both plain/text and html. Remember not all email clients support email. And a lot of people dont like it at all. Of course if this is only for you to see I guess you can ignore all that i said :) Curt -- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
