Hi,
I'm a programmer not a sys admin, so please excuse this if it seems a little out of place, but I think it applies to this forum. When I send my HTML newsletter from the server it comes in as plain text on some email programs and not others. Eudora is fine; Outlook Express, Hotmail, and Lotus Notes come in as plain text.
We are using "mail" to send the messages inside a php file and stepping through a user db in MYSQL. I suspect it is something to do with the way mail works or we need to add a line of code, but this is not my area of expertise, so any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time!
