Try this (and see if you can spot the changes):

<?php
function alert_outlook($Type)
{
$Type = strtolower($Type);

switch($Type)
{
case 'newsletter':
$Subject = 'message subject one here';
$Alert = "Hi,\n Just thought you would like to know that there has been
another subscription to the newsletter!\n\n";
break;
default:
$Subject = 'no subject';
$Alert = '';
}

$Alert = wordwrap($Alert, 65);

//set headers etc
$Recipient = "Auto Alerts <AutoAlerts@domain.com>";

$Message = "$Alert\n\n\n";
$Message .= 'Date: ' . date("l, js F Y") . "\n";
$Message .= 'Time: ' . date("H:i:s") . "\n";
$Message .= 'IP Address: ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n\n";

$Headers = "From: Auto Mailer <AutoMailer@Domain.com>";

mail("$Recipient, $Subject, $Message, $Headers");

//error check
if(!mail("$Recipient, $Subject, $Message, $Headers"))
{
return FALSE;
}
else
{
return TRUE;
}
}
?>
