Hi all,

I have a typical php contact form that works perfectly sending text based email to the receiver. I wish to, however, step it up and instead of sending the raw text i want to send them as a html mail so i can include images and just make it look better than plain text.

e.g. when the user receives the mail they can have a image based header with the info layed out nicely with css (borders, bg color etc…).

Thanks for any help,

Regards,

jerome
