you might need to put some header information in the email header. try reading here:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

there is a mention of gmail specifically...maybe that guy would know how to fix it.

you might also try googling for 'sending html email' or something. stfi!

ps: i would be interested in knowing this too. perhaps you could post your resulting code here? i'd appreciate it.

pps: here is a really elaborate php mailing program...you might be able to check their source code for some hints:

Yeah def. post your solution when you find it, because I know a ton of people are starting to use gmail, and I'm going to be implementing a mailer soon.

p.s. what's 'stfi' (i'm such a noob to forums)

i used the below code and it is now working, but there is a message in mail which is " IPW-AntiSpam: This header is to fight spam. Include with any abuse report. IPW-User: unknown" .
Is any body have idea about IPW?

<?
$headers="MIME-Version: 1.0 \n";
$headers.="From: Sender <[e-mail]>\n";
$headers.="X-Sender: <[e-mail]>\n";
$headers.="X-Mailer: PHP\n";
$headers.="X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers.="Return-Path:<[e-mail]>\n";
$headers.="Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

$recipient1="recipient <[e-mail]>";
$sub="mail subject ";
$message="

<table width=\"100%\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">
<tr>
<td bgcolor=\"#0000FF\">&nbsp;</td>
<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#33FF33\">Test Mail</td>
<td bgcolor=\"#CC6633\">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>";

if(mail($recipient1,$sub,$message,$headers))
{
	print "mail send";
}

?>
