Mail problem - headers part of body.

[ilia]

Hello all,

I've been trying to figure out this problem for days now - it's something that I "inherited" from the previous developer who worked for my present company, so this is especially difficult, as you can imagine.

Basically, I got an admin page on my site, which allows the admin to send a mass email to all the subscribers. The email itself is composed using a .tpl file, with all the fields being pulled from different variables.

Now, the problem is that if I use "text/html" content type, the HTML in the email does not get represented as it should be. When I use "multipart/alternative", the HTML is OK (at least in Thunderbird - there are still problems in Entourage), but somewhere in the process the header information gets attached to the top of the email body:

 

From - Mon Jul 30 15:29:31 2007 X-Account-Key: account2 X-UIDL: UID745-1181575263 X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Mozilla-Keys: Return-Path: Delivered-To: 3-ilia@company.com Received: (qmail 20389 invoked from network); 30 Jul 2007 15:23:15 -0500 Received: from company.com (HELO localhost) (216.70.127.231) by company.com with SMTP; 30 Jul 2007 15:23:15 -0500 From: Company Reply-To: Company Subject: Subject MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative boundary: ECHOTAG

 

This is the code that composes the headers and sends the email:

 

$headers = array('From' => 'Company<do-not-reply@company.com>',
                 'Reply-To' => 'Company<do-not-reply@company.com>',
                 'Subject' => "$journalName TOC Alert: Volume $volume, Issue $issue",
                 'MIME-Version' => '1.0',
                 'Content-Type' => 'multipart/alternative',
                 'boundary' => 'ECHOTAG');

......

$smarty->assign( 'user',              $users[$i] );
  $mailMessage = $smarty->fetch("email.toc_alert.html.tpl");
  $message= str_replace("\\\"","'",$mailMessage);
    //$email=$users[$i]->email;
  $email = "ilia@company.com";



  $mail = $smtp->send($email, $headers, $message);

 

And all this is done on a Linux server.

 

Appreciate any help in advance,
