Mail(), Html & Outlook
I see that a while ago people had the same problems as me (http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/show...eadid=10240258), but I see no answers anywhere, so here goes:
I am sending E-Mail from a form on my website using the php mail(). The problem is that when I send it as html, outlook has problems. Here are the headers I'm using:
$headers = "From: $name <$email>";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email ";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html;";
When I do this, the E-Mail looks fine in squirrelmail (a webmail program www.squirrelmail.org), but in outlook...instead of getting a nicely formatted html message, I get a message that starts with "Content-type: text/html;" then continues on in plaintext, showing me all the html tags, etc. I tried switching some of the headers around, and if I switch the mime & content-type headers, I see html in BOTH E-Mail programs, but outlook starts the message off with "MIME-Version: 1.0" which I suppose is the lesser of 2 evils, but there is no reason that I should have to see that. Does anyone have a solution?

Sending HTML Mail To Outlook Express With Mail()
I'm sending out an HTML mailer using the mail() function in PHP. I'm appending all of the headers to the message. This message displays correctly in Hotmail, Outlook 2000, and even Mac's OSX mail client. But, for some reason, Outlook Expess (on Win XP & OSX) displays the HTML code and doesn't render it. If, however, the recipient copies the HTML code and composes a new HTML message in Outlook Express, it gets sent correctly. This particular user is also getting other HTML mailers that display correctly, so I know that the client is capable of accepting HTML mail. I'm led to believe that PHP's mail() headers are not being interpreted correctly. In fact, they appear as the first 3 lines in the body of the message when viewed in Outlook Express. OK, here are some samples to tie this all together: First, the mail() code I'm using: PHP Code:

Outlook Chopping Href Tags In Html Mail
I have been trying to send a multipart text and html message through the mail() funciton. It works beautifully with Hotmail. However, when it is received by the IceWarp web-based mail server or by Outlook, some of the HTML is hacked out. Specifically, on href tags, look like this when viewing the source: <a href=ttp://.... It also chops off the last character of the url and the quote before the end ">" on the tag. I can't figure out what is happening ....

Mail() Seen As Junk In Outlook
I am trying to set up a system that automatically sends out emails to subscribers. I am testing it on my system using my own email address as the recipient address. For some reason it gets put into my junk folder by outlook express. Any way of stopping this? It will eventually be used to send to people who use all sorts of different email clients. Are there any easy ways to avoid these being filtered into the junk mail? Code:

Send Mail From Outlook Web Access
I've got RH9 Linux with default PHP. Is there a way to send email on Linux to an Exchange Server from PHP and/or other tools when there is *NOT* SMTP access? Has anyone figured out a way to use PHP to get inside an OWA (Microsoft Outlook Web Access) website to send email that way? The reason I ask is because my corporate office is going to do away with our rogue SMTP server access and force everything through Exchange Server. This makes it hard for our batch scripts on the Linux server to relay to internal email accounts that a job has failed or other errors.

Mail() To Outlook, No Carriage Returns
I'm sending normal text email, but in Outlook all the carriage returns are ignored. The text comes from MySQL database, and I've tried str_replace(" ", " ", $dr['email_template']); I also tried sending header Content-type: text/plain but still no luck, still the email comes through as one big line. I'm sure this must be a common thing but I can't immediately find an answer through Google.

Php->HTML Email: Outlook Cache?
I'm sending out a newsletter via PHP that sends HTML code. Within that code I have a tracking image that reports if the email was opened. (fairly common reporting) Anyway, if you open the HTML email once, it counts it as opened. If you open it twice, it does not count that. I've tried adding NO CACHE type options to the HTML email itself with no luck. Is it something maybe on the PHP side? I'd think everytime outlook opened that email it would reload the tracking image, but maybe not. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a workaround either client or server-side?

Combination Of Outlook And Php - Create Stationery For MS Outlook Using PHP Engine

I know the problem reside in this mail() function, because when I send an email from my desktop MS Outlook to the web based email, I can open the email and the HTML is just fine (i.e. a double return, translates to an empty space in between sentences), but if the same is sent from my php mail server, instead of a blank line in between, I get <BR> written litterly.
