Sending HTML formatted email

[Einstein47]

I have been having trouble lately with a form that sends HTML formatted emails. Some people receive the email correctly, while most get a text email with all the HTML tags showing. It makes it really hard to read.

Why do some get the email fine, while others don't?

Here is the code. I pull the To, Subject, and Message from a form (not included - ask and I'll post it). This is the PHP part.

    $toText = $_POST['toText'];
    $msgText = $_POST['msgText'];
    $subjectText = $_POST['subjectText'];

    $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "From: My Email <me@site.com>\r\n";

    $headers = str_replace("\r", "\n",   $headers);
    $headers = str_replace("\n\n", "\n", $headers);
    $headers = str_replace("\n", "\r\n", $headers);

    $msgText = stripslashes($msgText);

    mail($toText, $subjectText, $msgText, $headers);

Do I need to have something first - before the MIME-Version line in the headers part? Or is there something I'm missing with the mail() function.

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

use multipart mail and send a text and an html version. you can either do this manually (see the FAQ) or use phpmailer() from sourceforge. i'd recommend the latter for an easy life.
