Hi, I just don't know enough about MIME encoded email to figure this problem out. I'm using a PHP script (mime.php from the Pear library) to automate the sending of an HTML newsletter to my subscribers. The email the script dishes out has mixed results. Some of my users have the email rendered fine in there client, others receive a corrupted email with the headers bleading into the body.
To further complicate the matter, this is not an issue related to a particular email client, as users using identical clients on identical platforms have either had proper results or not. My hunch is that the problem originates from either my MTA, or the script itself. But, I just don't know enough about MIME multipart/alternative to diagnos the problem. A raw version of the email is below. Any MIME gurus out there?
