Hello everyone,
In the project I am working on, after a new user registred, we need to send a confirm email to user with an active link embeded (just like the way to register in www.webhostingtalk.com). I got problem to finish this. The user can received the email, but this email is without body, only with From, To, Subject. Does anyone can help me figuring out what's wrong with it? I appreciated any advices.

The email header I sent is below:
From: newaccount@totalhroffice.com
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0041_01C011A0.6BB8DA10----"

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The email body is below (things between 2 star lines):
************************************

The PHP version on the server is 4.3.2 and Apache is 2

The boundries you've setup are incorrect.

The boundries need to be preceeded by "--" so your boundries should be ------=_NextPart_000_0041_01C011A0.6BB8DA10----

The ending boundry needs to be followed by "--".

Thanks, Mitch. I fix the bounderies like you said. It works with some condition. I have 2 sites. One for testing and another is a real running site. They are hosted in different sites (testing site uses a share-hosting, and real one runs on a dedicated server). The email function works on my testing site well, but still doesn't work on the real site (without boby, but with From/To/Subject). Could you give me more advices about it? Thanks again.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help here. You probably need to determine how the dedicated server is setup. It may be using a different mail program or different parameters.
