I have strange problem sending HTML email. Customer who uses Outlook and some FireBird users can not get it, I mean it get it just like text email with HTML code inside - not like HTML normal email.
I'm using this function:
function sendNmail($FromAddress,$ToAddress,$Subject,$Message,$EmailType)
{
$date = date("r");
$Additional_Headers="From: $FromAddress\r\nReply-To: $FromAddress\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/";
$Additional_Headers.=(strcasecmp($EmailType,"html")==0)?"html":"plain";
$Additional_Headers.="; charset=utf-8\r\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\nDate: " . $date . "\r\n";
$result = mail ($ToAddress, $Subject, $Message, $Additional_Headers);
return;
}
it generates right header but it not recognized by Outlook... Is there any solution?

Apparently your dynamic code is somehow losing the proper Content-Type
and is sending only Content-Type:text. The Content-Type:text/html seems
to be getting lost. You can trying echoing to the screen what it thinks
it's sending.

No, if you look better to this code
$Additional_Headers.=(strcasecmp($EmailType,"html")==0)?"html":"plain";
then it does a job when I pass HTML as $EmailType.
BTW it generates email like:
To:a@aaa.com
Subject: subg bla bla bla
From:bbb@bbb.com
Reply-To:bbb@bbb.com
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
.... etc

Outlook has a 'read all mail as text' option. Could it be that?

If you're sure it's not the Content-Type, it could be your charset type
as I have not tried utf-8. I generally use iso-8859-1 which does indeed
send HTML mail properly. Otherwise maybe the mail client is set to read
all mail as text.

I don't know if that is the reason. All my customers gets the same email good formatted, but only one with Outlook doesn't...
