mail() in outlook express

phwae

Hi all,

My HTML mail is displaying fine with Yahoo, Hotmail, and a few other HTML enable mailers, but not Outlook Express. This is what I have here.

<?php

require_once('Mail.php');

require_once('Mail/mime.php');
$to = $_POST["email_addr"];
$from = "author@email.com>";
$subject = "The Certificate";

$textMessage = "Sorry, but you need HTML mailer to see the certificate correctly.";

$htmlMessage = " <html><body>tags go here</body></html>";

$cslf = "\r\n";
$headers = array('From' => $from,
'Subject' => $subject);

$mime = new Mail_Mime($cslf);

$mime->setTXTBody($textMessage);

$mime->setHTMLBody($htmlMessage);

$body = $mime->get();

$hdrs = $mime->headers($headers);

$mail =& Mail::factory('mail');

$mail->send($to, $hdrs, $body);

I am seeing both plain text and html codes on outlook express. It should only show text if the users' mailer can't show HTML, but it is showing all text and codes. Please help. It is driving me nuts for two days now. Any help appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

in outlook could you right click on the message, select properties and hit the details tab so I can see the actual mail headers? or show the class file where you have a class Mail_Mime.

Yes, but I know there is a way to bypass that problem. I searched through all the forum, and did exactly as what other people suggested for outlook, but none of them seems to work. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

$from = "author@email.com>";

Seems you forgot < before author@... ! It probably makes OE crazy 🙂
