    I'm using the standard php mail() function to send some email. I'm using the function as follows:

    mail(recipient, subject, message, headers)

    This works fine on yahoo and g-mail, but in Thunderbird, the headers (MIME version, REPLY TO etc) are being shown at the top of the email along with other info like status. Is this just a Thunderbird thing? If I leave out the headers, will the mail still arrive intact? It's a html email, so I suspect I at least need the content type header?

    yea, the header field is optional, you'll need the content-type one for a html message alright though.

    if you post your code,someone might be able to tell you why its not working as expected

    thanks, but I think I got it sussed. I had \r\n in my headers, which appeared to be causing an issue, certainly with tb. I canged it to \n and everything seems to be okay.
