[RESOLVED] Non-HTML E-Mail

[Shawazi]

I am trying to send out an e-mail without HTML for once.

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
//$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "From: $from_email\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from_email\r\n" ;
mail($_POST['friend_emails'], $_POST['your_name']." has sent you a message!", $content, $headers, "-f".$from_email);

The problem is if I comment out the HTML line it just shows the headers within the e-mail. I take it out and it 's HTML again obviously. I just need a basic e-mail with 3 new lines and the "from" field to show correctly without HTML. Messing around I either got from my server or blank.

Not sure, but I think if you either (a) delete the MIME-Version part of the headers, or else (b) put the Content-Type header back in as "text/plain", you might be OK then. (I get confused with all the variations on email headers, which is why I normally use the PHPMailer class and let it take care of those details. 😉 )

When I do that it works fine in Hotmail (allows HTML) but not my Thunderbird. I'm gonna look into that class you speak of 🙂
