>and Is there a workaround for sending a bcc using mail() >with v.4.1.2? On http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php there is an interesting article in the user notes - I paste it here for convenience, his solution should solve your problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 16-Aug-2002 05:46 If you need to send an e-mail with an html content and the same e-mail have Bcc headers. Place the Bcc (and why not also Cc) at the end of your additional headers. Otherwise, people receiving the email in copy may have the html code in their screen. The one who are designed as main recipient will not have this problem. Explanation : ========= The e-mail headers are broken when the PHP parser delete the Bcc line (Removed cause hidden, obvious !). Example : ======= This is bad $header = "From: \"".addslashes($sender_name)."\" <".$sender_email.">\r\n"; $header .= "Reply-To: ".$sender_email."\r\n"; $header .= "Cc: ".$other_email."\r\n"; $header .= "Bcc: ".$another_email."\r\n"; $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $header .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; $header .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\r\n"; The following is good $header = "From: \"".addslashes($sender_name)."\" <".$sender_email.">\r\n"; $header .= "Reply-To: ".$sender_email."\r\n"; $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; $header .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; $header .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\r\n"; $header .= "Cc: ".$other_email."\r\n"; $header .= "Bcc: ".$another_email."\r\n"; Sorry for my bad english. :-) Redy Ramamonjisoa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- >O Ernest E.
