I'm seeing error in my mail log about not have MIME headers in my html mail that going out to my list members....what is this? How do I add MIME tags to my email?

been wondering that myself. it would make a good tutorial or sticky thread i think. anyone?

I think it would make a GREAT tutorial.

Here are a few links to get you started:

There's a product called GroupMail that manages mailing lists. It can also send HTML email. I think it's like $40 or something. I've used it for almost 2 years and it's great!

I don't need software. I use php with a mysql database. I need to know about adding MIME headers to my outgoing mail list.

Look at the mail() function in the Online PHP docs. Example 4 shows how to build a headers string to pass to the mail function, it includes the header needed for sending HTML mail.

That is a sweet tutorial you hit the nail right on the head....with that in mind what headers should I use?

Example 4 shows this code for creating an HTML email:
I'm not too sure of the exact usage, tho'. I saw your question and remembered I had run across this while looking into setting up a mail list for a friend the other night. I haven't gotten around to using it yet.

I know but I wasnt sure if there were variables to those tags or if thats just what they are.....for instance keyword tags for your site....they are written the same for all sites but the actual keywords are different. I wan't sur eif those tags should be changed to fit my newsletter??? Anyone know?
