if you want to send an html email through the mail() fn you need to format the body differently as you need the proper tags to represent an html email. Quick google search: http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/send_email_text_html_attachment.php

 

Either that way or use PHP Mailer.

He's set the header to HTML.

 

Try changing <style> to <style type="text/css">.. "type" is a required attribute so the client or your browser may not be rendering the style sheet correctly.
