Re: [PHP-DB] MIME Alternatimve Emails

Thanks Richard for your response,
Since the code is a little long, I didn't want to post too much, so
I just put the last part with the headers I was using.
also, since the mailer worked previously,
I was thinking it was just the new header info I was plugging in
so to do the whole checking if a user can receive HTML emails or text.

Any thoughts on what order I should be putting the headers I have?
TIA,

Karl
