beholder - why don't you tell Garry what you think is wrong instead of telling it's no good. I thougt the main porpose with this forum is to give each other tips for free. Opensolutions are giving us the whole software for free and even their tips so why can't we give each other tips the same way?

cgan, I told him EXACTLY what is wrong. To be specific one more time, the HMTL email he is sending is not a proper text/html multipart email as specified by MIME. How more specific would you like me to be? Should I take his buggy code, run it in my test installation and then tell him how to change it line after line and what to put in there? Now that would be exactly what cheapasses would like, to fix their code for free, taking literally hours of my work.

I spend 2 fucking nights over the goddamned MIME stuff and then several hours more, it's really a nightmare (one mistake and the email client will tell you 'Opera encountered errors when decoding this email', now go search for your bug). I still remember my frustration and desire to give up any minute. Now I have some experience that I am willing to share for a damn beer money. I don't ask money for a tip, my original offer was "constructing correct multipart HTML email".
