But I'm working on another web site for someone else, that will need to be all pretty with in-line pictures and unsubscribe links etc etc.

Being a techie myself, I always opt to receive emails in plain text if I'm given the choice. However all too often that means you have to visit the sender's website to see the full content and Joe Public might miss it.

It surprised me too. I'd never seen that rule before. Is it a new thing?Last edited by Sysman; 21 March 2012, 13:02.

Here the the headers:
Code:X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.5 (2008-06-10) on mail1312.opentransfer.com X-Spam-Level: ******* X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=7.6 required=5.0 tests=HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG,MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY,MIME_HTML_ONLY,MPART_ALT_DIFF, RDNS_NONE autolearn=disabled version=3.2.5 X-Spam-Report: * 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message * 2.5 MPART_ALT_DIFF BODY: HTML and text parts are different * 2.3 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts * 1.0 MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY 'Content-Type' found without required MIME * headers * 1.7 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG HTML-only message, but there is no HTML tag * 0.1 RDNS_NONE Delivered to trusted network by a host with no rDNS
I'm more than willing to accept that I copied an example from t'internet and messed it up. Here is the message content:
Code:Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="PHP-mixed-5475f42c3735d46e07176eff1b16f5be" --PHP-mixed-5475f42c3735d46e07176eff1b16f5be Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-5475f42c3735d46e07176eff1b16f5be"; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Form received - See Attachment. --PHP-alt-5475f42c3735d46e07176eff1b16f5be Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <p>Form received - See Attachment.</p> --PHP-alt-5475f42c3735d46e07176eff1b16f5be--
Thoughts?

I was hoping to find something where I could just set the mail body (HTML) and fire it off and not have to worry about a plain text version, or assume that the plain text part will be automatically set up correctly.
Swift and Zend seem to offer a simpler way of doing things. Swift looks like it might give me more flexibility, whereas Zend looks like a potentially simpler interface.
The gmail thing looks interesting, thanks!

What problems are you having with mail? Seems pretty straightforward if the host mailer is working ok. If it is actually host mail that isn't working too well you can use Google mail instead, search for phpgmailer. Just copy couple of PHP files and set ID and password. The mailing syntax is a bit simpler than mail eg:
require_once('class.phpgmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPGMailer();
$mail->Username = '[email protected]';
$mail->Password = 'pigsfeet10';
$mail->From = $emailreply;
$mail->FromName = $coname;
$mail->Subject = "Your order to $coname";
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->AddAddress($email);
$mail->ConfirmReadingTo = "";
$stat = $mail->Send();

Zend mail or Swift mail?
I'm looking for a simpler way for some PHP to send emails. Currently using mail() but it's cumbersome, or perhaps I should say, prone to error. My error!
