html email problem

[Anon]

Hi,

I am trying to set up automated email messages in html format.

This is the code so far:

$var = mail("$toMail", "$subject", "$message","Content-type: text/html\n
From: $email\nReply-To: $email\n","sendmail_path: /usr/sbin/sendmail\n");

It works but for some reason the email address of the sender ($email) is not parsed correctly. It says 'nobody' and the properties in my email client show the email address of the host. I am pretty sure $email is set correctly.

Anyone knows what is causing this and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks
Raoul

if you php.ini file is configured correctly, i don't think you need all that in the mail function .. this would work for me:

mail("$toMail", "$subject", "$message","From: $email");

That is not going to send an email in html format. Just plain text, right?
