Ah, now I get it.
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n";
$headers .= "From: \"".$fromname."\" <".$fromaddress.">\n";
mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers);
So I'll need to separate headers and message. I'm not sure how it would
reassemble that though as multi-part. Maybe if I just did a simpler html
only content with one header.

I'll check. I'm not sure how this would help though.

Well, I tried it with just one header and I think it's working. Mozilla
doesn't really show the html styling but I think that's just following
the default display without adding colors & such. When I reply, it shows
up as an html table.
For the record, this is what I used (very bare bones):
<?
function html_mail()
{
global $emailTo;
global $emailCC;
$html = '
<html>
<style>
</style>
<body>
';
$html .= '<table>';
$html .= '<tr><td>';
$html .= "column 1";
$html .= '</td>'
. "\r\n";
$html .= '<td>';
$html .= "column 2";
$html .= '</td></tr></table>'
. "\r\n";
$html .= "testing, does the above appear as a table to you
or plain text?
</body>
</html>
";
$mail = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$mail .= "FROM: Automated Email <info@x.com>\r\n";
$mail .= "Subject: Triteleia Order Confirmation \r\n";
$mail .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii\r\n";
$mail .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
mail($emailTo, "", $html, $mail);
}
$emailTo = "info@x.com";
html_mail()
?>
