PHP Mail

Just small stuff

[circuitjump]

Hi all,
Just want to know if I can get a little help on this little thing I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to make my mailing list that runs on PHP send out a preformated message. But I am running into a problem. The problem is that the preformated message is formated differently on every mail program. What I mean is that Eudora formats it differently from Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail and so on.

So, I want to know if anyone has been able to overcome this little dilemma and how they did it.

This is what I'm trying to do:

//E-Mail Content
$subject_from = "YDI Mailing List - ".$subject."\nFrom:Domain [e-mail]\r\n";
$blank = " ";
$message_info = $message."\n\n
--------------------------------------------------------------------
¦ Visit [domain.com...] for all your wireless shopping needs. ¦\n
¦ You have recieved this e-mail because you signed up for it. ¦\n
¦ If you would like to stop receiving emails click below ¦\n
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[domain.com...]
//Send the customers form e-mail.
mail($mail_catch->email,
$subject_from,
$blank,
$message_info)
or exit();

Any way it should come out like this:

-----
¦BOX¦
¦BOX¦
-----

Thanks for any help given.

Sorry you haven't been helped sooner, circuit. I am putting this at the top of the list and calling for help.

This is a plain text email, yes?

If it's just the "box" that's not formatting consistenetly perhaps it's just the lack of 'newlines' at the end of the horizontal dash-lines as in:

--------------------------------------------------------------------\n
¦ Visit [domain.com...] for all your wireless shopping needs. ¦\n
¦ You have recieved this e-mail because you signed up for it. ¦\n
¦ If you would like to stop receiving emails click below ¦\n

Hey thanks all,
Yeah it's a plain text e-mail,
I've been doing it like so
--------------------------------------------------------------------\n
Visit [domain.com...] for all your wireless shopping needs.\n
You have recieved this e-mail because you signed up for it.\n
If you would like to stop receiving emails click below \n
