i am sending the following header in the mail $headers= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; $headers.= "From:".$from."\n"; In Gmail I am receiving the message in proper form. but in our server I am receiving it as unnamed [text\html] and I need to download it or open it to see the message. Kindly please let me know what could be the problem. Thanks in advance Chitvan Seth

I found the below code in the manual for the mail() function on php.net. I differences I notice are that it uses a \r at the end of each line and that the "t" in "type" is lower-case. Try those changes and see what happens. // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; Michael J

Thanks for the help but this did not worked. With my code i am able to receive the mails in proper format in gmail accounts but as soon as apply "\r\n" instaed of "\n" the mail in gmail also get html tags in it.
