PHP mail function text/html quirks 1

[rrsub]

I have a mailer program that formats data from an input form into a pretty HTML format message delivered to a specific user.

I have "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 \r\n"

in my headers and it works well from IIS.

From Apache2 on Linux,
Outlook displays the message as text.
Thunderbird displays as HTML

Being that the end users most likely will use Outlook, what can I do to fix this?

Best bet is to start using the open source package PHPMailer which fully supports HTML e-mail. The class is available through

http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net

It has saved me tons of headaches if I had to figure out RFC822 all over.

OK, so I'm using phpmailer.

Thanks
