I've made a PHP script that sends out an automatic email through my servers cron system, it works well, but I thought I'd try to do some HTML email to get things to line up a little better.
To do so, I added the following line in my mail() command: -Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
When I check the messages sent out with Eudora, the HTML email comes in perfectly. However, when I check with Outlook Express 6 - I get the actual HTML code rather than the nicely formatted email that I had created.
Should I be using another line in my mail() command? I've recieved HTML email before with Outlook Express on my machine without changing any settings at all. Also, I had sent an email from my script to hotmail and the HTML email worked fine there too.
That looks like one of the bugs of the mail() function that never got fixed. In that case you may want to try this class that has built-in workarounds for some of the mail() function bugs.
