You just need to have the proper MIME information deopending on what exactly
you are trying to do.
Also, the HTML must be in Quoted Printable Format. If you have PHP
configured with imap you can
just run your message through the imap_8bit function (or so I am told... I
didn't have that luxury =P ).
If not you just need to read the MIME specifications for quoted printable
and follow all the rules. The
rules for quoted printable can be found in section 5.1 of this document
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1521.html
or section 6.7 of this document
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html
The other piece of advice I have to offer (having just finished a fairly
large mail program myself)
is to send yourself html messages in whatever mail reader you use and then
telnet to your mail
server and look at them there. That should at least give you an idea of
what your message should look like.
