@NogDogFeb 25.2011 — #Do you see what appears to be any extra space around the boundaries in the received email? My understanding is that some sendmail programs convert "n" characters to the "rn" combination. Therefore, since you are (normally correctly) using "rn" for your header/boundary separators, it *might* now be converting them to "rrn" and screwing things up. So while I frankly think it's unlikely, it might still be worth a try to change your separators to "n" and see if that helps -- especially if nobody comes up with anything better. ? (It might be a good idea to make it a variable, so you can change it in one place when you experiment and likely have to change it back.)@NogDogFeb 25.2011 — #Only other thing I can suggest -- since I can't claim to me an email expert -- is to do what I do: use PHPMailer to put it all together and send it. ? Here's an example of a multipart email: http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php?pg=exampleamail
[RESOLVED] php mail function
Hi there, I’m currently in the process of revising the contents of a newsletter that is generated from a PHP script. I’m using a multipart/alternative MIME type. It was working fine before, but suddenly it is not showing up correctly when being sent. It just show the entire code. So I end up getting the mime information and both the plain and html message (with source code showing) displayed when the email is sent.
[CODE]–Multiparta09988018a
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=”utf-8″
….. Information that doesn’t matter …..
–Multiparta09988018a
Content-Type: text/html; charset=”utf-8″
<html>
<head>
<style type=”text/css”>
….. css stlyes …..
</script>
</head>
<body>
….. Information that doesn’t matter …..
</body>
</html>

[code=php]//set boundary
$boundary = “Multipart” . substr(md5(date(“c”)),0,10);
//set headers and subject
$headers = “From: …@….comrnReply-To: …@….comrnMIME-Version: 1.0rnContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=” . $boundary . “rn”;
