| I am trying to get my autoresponder working. I use the mail() function
which is fine, except I can't get it to accept more than one header.
In the headers I have put:
"From: Dave<me@somedom.com > \r\nContent-Type: text\\html"
I then get "Content-Type: text\html" as the first line of my message instead
of it being interpreted as a header.
What am I doing wrong?? I thought headers were separated by CRLF which I
think is \r\n.

Depends on the server, mine just use \n.
I build my headers and place them in a variable as the parm for mail(),
though it is not necessary it makes it a bit more readable :
$mailheaders = "From: $_POST[EMail] \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $_POST[EMail] \n";
// Send the mail:
mail($recipient, $subject, stripslashes($msg), $mailheaders);

It now works. In fact I need to use "\r\n" but I think I went wrong by
escaping a forward slash using text\/html whereas text/html works OK.
Still mega  over slashes and escaping in php but may be getting
somewhere now - thanks.
