Sounds to me as if you have an extra newline in there. The first blank line indicates to the MTA/MUA the end of the headers and the start of the message body. Note that (IMHO) the manual page for mail() is wrong. I believe the line endings used to separate headers should be the system's native line endings. Not "\r\n". Using "\r\n" on a Unix box can cause some MTA's (qmail, in particular) to imagine *two* line endings, thus ending your headers. ...R. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
