[FX.php List] How to send HTML emails in PHP

Thu Jan 24 17:18:20 MST 2008

These are all emails that are sent from a site that they embed in  
their company sites, so they'll recognize them as not being spam.  
They're all sales leads.

Client wants it, I gotta supply it... :)

I just wish I knew how to keep that one line from showing...

Other than that, the emails look fine.
