We are sendign emails from server in HTML and text. In many cases we
are runnign into issues where it will not work. Below example the
email can not be read and is saying (att.net): Attachment 1:
multipart/alternative (not viewable) - I need to know how to setup
email headers when sending, so it shows on all type of web accounts
and systems like AOL. How come outlook works on all of them? Here is
the header to the email that could bot be read on att.net. Is there a
standard I am missing? ( I XXXX client name for privacy)

Request for Question Clarification by legolas-ga on 30 Aug 2004 13:36 PDT
Reinventing the wheel and creating your own mailer is a big pain..
There are easier ways to send a message from a website using things
like postfix, sendmail or qmail... Would you be interested in knowing
how to use Sendmail to send your messages from a website, or, are you
looking for the actual technical specs that make up email headers. Be
warned, the technical specs are difficult to understand.
