mail() and multipart/alternative emails

spacecat

I'm trying to use the PHP mail() function to send multipart/alternative emails - ie emails with plain text and html versions.

I'm sure I have em formatted correctly; this is how it looks on the server before retrieval:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0059_01BEA6E2.1A467F40"

----=_NextPart_000_0059_01BEA6E2.1A467F40
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Sup?

----=_NextPart_000_0059_01BEA6E2.1A467F40
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

<html>
<head>
<title>and the HTML reads ..</title>
</head>

<h1><b>HELLO!!</b></h1>

</body>
</html>

----=_NextPart_000_0059_01BEA6E2.1A467F40

BUT, when I retrieve it with my client (Calypso) it just shows the header - no body

Anyone have any ideas? This worked fine when I sent it with Perl - does php mess with the newlines or sumpin?

Hi there,

I'm having the same problem: some people receive my email well and others just get a blank email. I haven't found out what's going wrong yet. But I've read about when your lines are longer then 1024 caracters that some emailprogrammes or emailservers reject the body or even the whole mail. So put in a lot of "\n" !!!

Either way, it's still not working for me. But when I check the options in the mail I see this line(and a lot of other lines!):

Received: (from nobody@localhost)

Does anyone know if this could this be my problem? That some emailservers see this fromadres as spam or something like that? And where should I change this settings, cause in the mail-function I write my from-adress which is NOT nobody@localhost!

I'm having the same problem too. My host told me to use this code:

mail($MailTo,$MailSubj,$MailBody,"From: $MailFrom","-fwebmaster@theemailaddress.org");

Apparently the -fwebmaster@theemailaddress.org is suppose to be put in place if the from section is changed to that nobody@email.com address. I just don't know if this solves the problem or not. Thats actually why I'm on this site. To find out if it will work.
