Is there a way to use color text in mail body? For example, I like my $mailmessage to have red, blue and green color text. Please post some tips. Thanks...

mail($email, $subject, $mailmessage, $headers);

you could only color the text if you are sending in HTML format...

Set the content type of your email to html: text/html

The using HTML, you can change the color of the text to your liking.

There've been many posts about sending HTML email on the boards.. search around ;)

I've never had a problem in Windows although grnated I have not used 2K server (actually, I've never even heard of it).

May be a silly question, but have you defined your mailserver in php.ini?
