Please please help.. php email

[phanku]

Okay so I am building this script that will get data from a form and then format it into html, plain text, and a csv and then put it all together and email it to people. 

 

I have been bashing my head against this for a while.  The emails do not come out right. I get the plain text part, and the attachment fine in outlook but I also see the unparsed html code.  In gmail(which my boss want the emails to work in that also) all I get is the plain text, the unparsed html and then the unparsed attachment.

 

I need help please guys.  I think the problem is in the headers I am trying to send out in the email.

 

Included is my object that builds the email and email headers.

 

Thanks in advance!!

Try using phpMailer - it's worked well in the past for me
