Hi,
I wonder if you have come across this problem before...
I use 2 different hosting companies for a number of sites. One is Godaddy in the US, the other is Unlimited in the UK.
I’d had some problems sending html emails from a contact form on one of my sites (hosted by Unlimited) so I did some troubleshooting.
I put up a simple php script that sends a very simple html email to 2 different email addresses.
The 2 email addresses are all accounts on Outlook on the same pc.
1 of the emails is hosted by Unlimited, 1 is hosted by Godaddy.
When the emails arrive in Outlook the Godaddy email is displayed as html and looks ok. The Unlimited email is plain text with the html tags showing and the
information regarding the sender of the email has been removed.
If I look at the ‘faulty’ email on the server via webmail it looks ok ie is in html and the sender address is shown.
If I look at the ‘faulty’ email on my blackberry it looks ok as well.
If I move the php script to a Godaddy server the mails are all received ok ie all are html and all have the correct sender info.
If I change the addresses in the script to gmail and hotmail addresses they work ok as well.
If I change the script to send plain text mails there is no problem.
So I can’t see that the script is wrong and I can’t see that there is an issue with the PC (eg virus scan on the mails or something) or with the Outlook settings.
And since the mail looks ok via webmail and on blackberry the only thing that’s left is when Outlook gets the mail from the Unlimited server. However this doesn’t make
sense either since Outlook gets a mail sent from the Godaddy script from the Unlimited server correctly.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
John.
