php mail does not send html content

Question

For some reason my php mail() function does not send html,

Instead of <a href="mysite">link</a> it shows just shows link as plain text.

Any ideas?

this is the headers I used:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: My Automated Message <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

And invoked as follows:

try {
    if (@mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers)){
        echo "<span style=\"color:#0D0; font:10pt Tahoma;font-weight:bold;\">{$SENT_MESSAGE}</span><br><br>"; 
        return true;
    } else {
        $tmp=error_get_last();
        throw new Exception($tmp['message']);
    }
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "<span style=\"color:red; font:10pt Tahoma;font-weight:bold;\">Error: ".$e->getMessage()."</span><br><br>";
}

I also tried to send the mail without headers, but then again it shows the link as plain text like this: <a href="mysite">link</a>

Try this header

  $headers = 'From: Name<[email protected]>' . "\r\n" .
       'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n" .
       'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
       'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . "\r\n" .
       'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

nope, it's still the same, the link word is just a plain text.

I tried on yandex.ru and mail.ru - both get me the same result.

are you kidding? These are largest providers in Russia. I also used to send and recieve the links just fine, when I send them mail using sockets.

$message = rtrim(chunk_split(base64_encode($message)));  $headers = 'From: Abuse Digest Notification<[email protected]>' . "\r\n" .            'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n" .            'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .            'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . "\r\n" .            'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

Check this

 $from='[email protected]';      
 $headers ='';
 $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
 $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
 $headers .= 'From: '.$from.' '. "\r\n";

 mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers);
