i get garbage mime text all over when i receive the mail. why is that?

Posted By: blockhead123 on December 2, 2010

ok i resolved it. the garbage came from this statement -> $headers .= "\nMessage-ID: \n";

from how i see it. we need to remove that statement. one more thing the function is not dynamic. cause if you need an html based message you will need to have a separate plain message at the same time. the parameter for message is wrong, it should have two paramters for message, htmlmessage and plainmessage for it to have a custom look for each type.
