Question about email headers

[glenelkins]

Ok, so why if i use:

[code]
mail ($recipient,"Test Title",$html_code,"From: [email protected]\n Content-type: text/html");
[/code]

does the email come through showing the HTML code rather than the content, but if i do it this way it works fine:

[code]
$headers = "From: [email protected]\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html";
mail ($recipient,"Test Title",$html_code,$headers);
[/code]

Not really a problem, just wondering why it does not work with the first method

Have you tried:

[code]mail ($recipient,"Test Title",$html_code,"From: [email protected] \r\n Content-type: text/html");[/code]

??
Because either way should be fine.
