    Hi,

    I am trying to send a html email from a php script. This script emails
    a common information to all the members in the database. The only
    problem is I cannot specify colors, hyperlinks etc..Html tags like
    <h1></h1>, <br/>, <b> etc works though..

    Could any one tell me what i might be doing wrong? Any help will be
    greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Ann

    Code:
    function mail_it($content, $subject, $email, $recipient) {
       global $attachment_chunk, $attachment_name, $attachment_type,
    $attachment_sent, $bcc;
       global $db;
       global $msgbody;

       $ob = "----=_OuterBoundary_000";
       $ib = "----=_InnerBoundery_001";
       
       $sql_result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contacts", $db);
       echo "<br/><b>Emails sent to:</b><br/>";
     
       while($rs = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result))
            {
            $message = "";
            $headers = "";
            $recip = $rs["Email"];
            $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
            $headers .= "From: ".$email."\r\n";
               $headers .= "To: ".$recip."\r\n";
               $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email."\r\n";
               if ($bcc) $headers .= "Bcc: ".$bcc."\r\n";
               $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n";
               $headers .= "X-Mailer: Formmail".VERSION."\r\n";

            $content = "Hello ".$ToName.",<br/><br/>";
            $content .= $msgbody;
            $content .=" <br/><br/>";
            $content .="Thank you.";
            $content .=" <br/><br/><br/>";
            $content .="<small><font color='blue'>Please send an email to <a

                          $attachment_sent = 1;
                               }
                       $message .= "\r\n--".$ob."--\r\n";
       
                        mail($recip, $subject, $message, $headers);
            }
