Rasmus,
I gathered info in several ways to hopefully save time. I
composed a message containing a simple, one-line PHP echo function and
sent it to myself. Not surprisingly, nothing showed in the message body
when pulled up via the webmail app. The exhibits are displayed below.
This message was composed via Outlook, just to eliminate any confusion.
Message sent:
Subject: PHP Test
Message: <? echo "Earthlink Mailcenter Sucks." ?>

Ok, but you didn't really answer my question. When you do a view source
to see the raw html in the webmail app, do you see the PHP tags. ie.
the <?php system("mail...")?> tag in this thread?
