[SOLVED] PHP mail()

[ShibSta]

I'm sending an email using PHP and everything is working fine. However, Thunderbird is not rendering the HTML. I sent the same email to Hotmail and the HTML is shown perfectly. To further debug the issue, I sent an HTML email from Hotmail to my Thunderbird account and the HTML rendered fine. Therefore, I have reason to believe that my PHP is at fault and it's not a Thunderbird configuration that's incorrect. Here is the source of my email, do you see anything wrong with it?

This is a MIME encoded message.

We have HTML capability!

 

But this is just a test...

Perhaps you could post the code that is sending these e-mails?

[ShibSta]

The code is irrelevant as I've proven so in debugging.... Thunderbird doesn't like something about the email's source and I can't figure out what it is.

 

Thanks

After further debugging, I've realized that Thunderbird is simply crying over the fact that text/html is coming before text/plain... I swapped the two and placed the text/plain first and text/html second in the mail and now everything is working.

 

Thanks anyway.
