mime - and send()

[Anon]

Hello!

I want to send an e-mail with the mail()-Function. The Problem ist that I've a subject which must be mime encoded. So I must send an Mime header before the subject. I have tried it with the mail()-function, but it doesn't work, because it's seems to be only possible before the message (as a forth parameter of mail()). Unfortunatly I can't use any imap function.

Can anybody tell me how to coupe with the problem? Please write me your suggestions.

If you basically wanna use advanced features like mime encoding and attatchments, you should use raw SMTP code to write to the SMTP server where you can write RFC822 compliant headers and stuff with mime encoding.
PS : U need to know the protocol and use sockets for the operations. And trust me, it might seem intimidating but it's as easy as a lollipop.
