    multipart mime mail problem

    Hi, on windows xp I'm using

    xampp v 1.6.4

    I'm trying to send mail. The mail always sends, but the multipart
    sections are broken. Essentially, I want to send an html email that
    has a link it, like http://www.google.com so the reader can click on
    the link.

    When I get the email, the body is empty.

    It seems that No matter what I can't get multiple newlines before the
    boundry sections.
    I've tried just \n, just \r, \r\n, \r\n\r\n, \n\n and more
    variations....
    Perhaps the problem isn't the newlines?

    I had some code that worked on linux, but I've never got it to work on
    windows.

    The code and email follow.

    Can anyone tell me how to get this working?

    Thanks

          Well, I was using an html email class that works on unix... I just
          can't get it to work on windows.

              I seem to have this working now.

              It seems I had to enable the following line in my php.ini...
              This doesn't makes sense to me though because it says for unix only

              ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail
              -t -i").
              sendmail_path = "d:\xampp\sendm ail\sendmail.ex e -t"

              Additionally, if I ran a local smtp server before this change, the
              mails were routed, they were just broken.

              I also read elsewhere that php mail talks directly to the mta. This
              implies to me the smtp server. perhaps that's an incorrect
              assumption.

              So, why is it I need to use the local sendmail exe when the php mail
              call was working, at least sending email without it?

              Thanks

                  You may want to try this very popular class that works under anything
                  and deals with line breaks correctly:
