I am not sure what you mean, but the class does not parse the message, but rather encodes it in a way that it will not be refused by some mail servers. > HELP NEEDED > > I would like to consolidate these 2 classes and eliminate the parsing. > Unfortunately, I'm a newbie and need help from the pros. > > If anyone is interested in participating in this project, please e-mail > me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > After completion this "new" class would be submitted to > www.phpclasses.org for everyone to use. Encoding in MIME is generally a requirement for sending messages, but even if it were not usually required, what would be the importance of not doing it? You can always send your messages directly to the recipients SMTP server with this class: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse.html/package/14.html But if you do not format the message according to the MIME standards, chances are that your message is refused, bounced or even discarded by some SPAM filter.
