question for: psimation : )
>>Go here to download the package:
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net

1. i don't maintain the php web server, guess i don't have permission to intall the phpmailer?
2. $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

this will make the mail function undstand the html tags ??
