what do you mean yep.... which one???

btw- its a good idea to use \r\n for emails. sendmail prob converts your lone \n's into \r\n for you, but its prob a good idea to just use \r\n ... im pretty sure i read in the rfc once that lone \n's in the email message body is a no-no. this wont fix your prob, i just wanted to let you know.

yor problems sounds like your not specifying the right mime type(html or plain text)

Yeah. ...

In the mail() function you are able to add certain headers (like: "FROM: Somename <[e-mail]>") which gives it a personal touch.

To define which type you're using, you need to add the following header:

Content-Type: Another MIME header, telling MIME-compliant mail programs what type of content to expect in the message.

Plain Text

'MIME-Version: 1.0',
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2"'

You can add that to the header in the email.

// Mail Function

mail($Recipient, $Subject, $Message, [$Additional_Headers]);

Personally, I always add the header "FROM:", so you could have something like:

// Headers

$headers = 'FROM: '.$name.' <'.$email.'>'.
            'MIME-Version: 1.0'.
            'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2"';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

hello brett..I tested the plain text content type in header...same shit....grrrr
in your code is missing a \r\n after the MIME version..

So, did you fix it, or is it still not working?
