    Cannot receive HTML mail on same host

    Hi,

    When I use php mail() in a script on my localhost to send an HTML
    message to an e-mailaccount on my online host, all is fine.
    When I use php mail() in a script on my online host to send an HTML
    message to some e-mailaccount other than on my online host, all is fine.

    But when I use php mail() in a script on my online host to send an HTML
    message to an e-mailaccount on that same online host, I receive the
    message code as plain text.

    Does anyone know why this happens?

    Thanks in advance,

    Remon Huijts.

      mail() can't do that. Are you using the same mail reader in all cases,
      with the same options? Are you absolutely sure?

          In addition to all that: are you sure you send in all the cases HTML
          mail - one and the same...

              Yes, it's the same mail reader, with the same options. I ran the script
              on my localhost and it worked, then uploaded the script and thus tried
              to send the same html message to the same recipient. This test fails
              when the recipient is on the same domain name.

              Absolutely sure, I only use one mail reader (Thunderbird) and I read my
              mail at home only.

              Somebody suggested that the (mis)use of line endings could cause this,
              but I have not looked into that yet.

              Remon.
