Besides the fact that the FONT tag is deprecated in HTML, your code is  
ok for HTML output. As a normal e-mail message is plain text and not  
HTML, the e-mail client will rather display your code as a text string,  
instead of interpreting it as HTML. 
 
You can send HTML e-mail; there are ready-to-use classes available, for  
example PEAR Mail (pear.php.net); you will find more of them by googling.
