I forgot to add, you also need "MIME-Version: 1.0" in the header.
If you send html mail then people who reject html mail will reject it. I
don't know what percentage that is, but I think it is non trivial though
well less than the majority.
If you don't want them to reject your mail then send text instead.
Spam filters will typically increase the spam rating for html mail, which
may or may not cause it to be rejected. More people (%-wise) use spam
filters than those that simply reject html mail, it may well be the
majority now.
If you don't want a spam filter to reject your mail then be careful not to
send spam, or things that look like spam. Be careful to stay off various
blocking lists, and don't send large volumes of similar looking mail
unless it's a bona fide sign-up mail list.
