    private $subject;
    private $sendText;
    private $textBody;

    private $HTMLBody;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->toAddress = '';
        $this->CCAddress = '';
        $this->BCCAddress = '';
        $this->fromAddress = '';
        $this->subject = '';
        $this->sendText = false;
        $this->textBody = '';
        $this->sendHTML = true;
        $this->HTMLBody = '';

    }

    public function setTextBody($value) {
        $this->sendText = false;
        $this->textBody = $value;
    }

    public function setSendHTML($value) {
        $this->sendHTML = $value;
    }

    public function setHTMLBody($value) {
        $this->sendHTML = true;
        $this->HTMLBody = $value;
    }

    public function send($to = null, $subject = null, $message = null,
        $headers = null) {

        $success = false;
        if (!is_null($to) && !is_null($subject) && !is_null($message)) {
            $success = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
            return $success;
        } else {
            $headers = array();
            if (!empty($this->fromAddress)) {
                $headers[] = 'From: ' . $this->fromAddress;
            }

            if (!empty($this->CCAddress)) {
                $headers[] = 'CC: ' . $this->CCAddress;
            }

            if (!empty($this->BCCAddress)) {
                $headers[] = 'BCC: ' . $this->BCCAddress;
            }

            if ($this->sendText && !$this->sendHTML) {
                $message = $this->textBody;
            } elseif (!$this->sendText && $this->sendHTML) {

                $headers[] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"';
                $headers[] = 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit';
              //  $headers[] .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable';
                $message = $this->HTMLBody;
            } elseif ($this->sendText && $this->sendHTML) {
                $boundary = '==MP_Bound_xyccr948x==';
                $headers[] = 'MIME-Version: 1.0';
                $headers[] = 'Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="' .
                    $boundary . '"';

                $message = 'This is a Multipart Message in MIME format.' . "\n";
                $message .= '--' . $boundary . "\n";
                $message .= 'Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"' . "\n";

            }

            $success = mail($this->toAddress, $this->subject, $message,
                join("\r\n", $headers));
            return $success;
        }

Gmail is usually pretty loose in terms of letting email go through as is. So, you are saying the email works with all other email providers? Are you sure that you are not the one slashing the quotes before it is sent? For instance, if you have magic quotes enabled on your server, it could be you. Have you tried a different email class? I use swiftmailer, which is quite popular.

This sounds like gmail's built-in warding against images. It's actually common in a lot of email providers, to prevent display of images unless the visitor clicks a button to enable them (or sets it to allow in their email settings). The reason is because in order to show images in an email, the image must be downloaded to the user's browser or email client (e.g. outlook). Images can possibly contain viruses or malware. More common though is that companies usually use images in emails as a way to track when users read the emails they send out. Well you know how much everybody likes having their activities tracked. Anyways, the point is that it's likely not a problem with your code, but a "problem" with gmail's (and other email providers) policy about displaying images in the email.
