Server issue or PHP? - Contact Form Not Sending HTML correctly

Editor08 · October 3, 2009

I am using the following code which is being sent over SMTP. When email message is received in gmail raw html appears. In Outlook the message is blank. What is the issue? A php error or server problem?

(process-form.php)

You should simplify your script to the bare essentials for testing, and also use code tags when posting.
