if you go the mail() route, yes...examples on the net on how to split it up. yes, you could do just a simple html and be done with it.

means you wouldn't have to use mail() and you write directly to file...smtp would pick it up and send it automatically. mail() is fn quircky...i cut out the middle-man...but then again, i'm working on my or my company's servers over which i have full command...you may not have cart-blanc.

FANTASTIC...at least we got rid of the html tags and see it being interpreted *as* html instead. you can embedd a css an have your html email refer to it so that your html is a bit more "stylish".

anyway, glad you've gotten this far! the code i gave handles most scenarios people follow when wanting to send email via php...if it comes in handy down the road, keep it, use it, modify it, abuse it...just hoped you learned from it.

ngu later,

me
