Chris,
Hmmm, I haven't seen this problem before, although I have used mail() a fair amount.
Some thoughts - first of all, what happens if you change the \t to a couple of
spaces? Does that change things?
Also, what does the message's source look like? Is it possible your mail reader
is reformatting and you don't know it?
Finally - did you copy/paste the code, or did you retype it? If the latter, did
you accidentally correct your "problem" when retyping? :-)
But no - you do NOT want to insert html code into your message - especially the
header.
