HTML mail outs?

[coicle]

Hi,
I'm trying to produce an HTML mail out that will be sent out using my 'mail()' function. But everytime I write a message and send it, the recieved email is rendered with my tags as text. How can I send a mail with the message to be rendered in HTML? Do i need to include any headers or anythign special? (I am using an HTML email server so it can render HTML mails) Thanks,

dan

No worries I ahve solved it on my ownself, u have to use...

/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: webmaster@{_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}\r\n";
/*That has set up all the headers*/


/* and now mail it */
mail($ToEmail, $ToSubject, $Message, $headers);

email me if u want any of it explaining, 'cos I'll try my best y'all,
dan

Something you might want to be aware of is PHPMailer. It's a very well-written PHP class for handling complex email creation.
