Hi Brendan,

Probably a better idea to trouble shoot starting with the actual output first 
(real email headers). 

Unless someone here is very familiar with that class, those method calls don't 
tell much of a story without knowing what they end up generating. Those 
priorties at the end seem to conflict though.

On another note: Many spam filters have a set image/text ratio threshold. It 
was an old spammers trick to send emails with their content inside images to 
avoid the dodgey content being picked up. How big are those images compared to 
the text? Maybe try removing the images from the content string and see if the 
message makes it through before resting blame on headers.

  Subject: [phpug] HTMLmimemail and messageid


  hi there, 

  Trying to improve the ability of emails I create through HTMLmimemail to get 
through spam filters and proving problems...

  below is the headers I am setting /trying to set - seems like the messageID 
is a big factor in spam, any advice on how I should change the settings?

  The email itself is a combination of a couple images and some text and HTML 
format.

  much appreciated...

  $mail= new htmlMimeMail();
      $mail->setReturnPath($themessage['email_from']);
      $mail->setFrom($themessage['email_from']);
      $mail->setHeader('Reply-To',$themessage['email_from']);
      $mail->setHeader('X-Mailer','Company Name');
      $mail->setSubject($themessage['subject']);
      $mail->setSMTPParams('localhost','25');
      $mail->setHeader("Date","".date("r")."");
      
$mail->setHeader("Message-ID","<".date("YmdHis")."@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">");
      $mail->setHeader("MIME-Version","1.0");
      //$mail->setHeader("Content-type:","text/html;charset=ISO-8859-9");
      $mail->setHeader("X-Priority","1");
      $mail->setHeader("Importance","1");
          $mail->setHeader("X-MSMail-Priority","High");
