Using HTML and CSS in an email

[Blekk]

Hi,

I don't know if this fits under this category but I was testing how to send with php mail() and in the $message I put, something like:

[code]<p style="color:#000000; font-size:10px;">Hello</p>[/code]

But when I recieve the email in Live Messenger, all I get is not a black word at size 10 but actually the html code aswell.

[quote]<p style="color:#000000; font-size:10px;">Hello</p>[/quote]

Just like it was in the php document.

Anyone know why?

Thanks,

Any reply is appreciated.

You'll need to send these headers as well: [code]MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1[/code] (note that you can of course change it to another character set/encoding)
