OK, Below is my updated script.
\n is the appropriate EOL, so I've fixed that as well as where the
quotes were. That was just bad on my part.

And you'll see I added that too.
I also looked around at more source code of my successfully received
newsletter e-mails and am trying to emulate them, so I made a couple of
other changes.
And yet, still doesn't work.
No matter what e-mail client I use, the source code for the e-mail
looks fine, it's all there...but nothing is visible in the e-mail
display.
In Kmail, it show a brief summary of the parts the e-mail includes, and
on mine it always says:
e-mail type: multipart/alternative 8bit (that's odd considering I use
7bit in the code) 19.6 KB
body part: Plain Text Document 0 KB
E-mails that work always has a 2nd "body part" as HTML listed, and
obviously, the appropriate size. Why mine seems to cut off detection at
the plain text doc and not have the size, I can't fathom. Everything
appears the same as working e-mails.
Anyway, thanks for the replies, and any tips are appreciated!
