Line feeds with MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n

I added "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type:text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" as one of the parameters in the mail( )
function to replace the "Nobody" with a real From: email. That worked.
But if I attempt to add any other terms, such as the sender's name and
location, the MIME parameter above seems to ignore the "\n" line feeds
and put the these other terms ahead of the mail message.

Here's my code:

mail("$toaddress", "$subject", "$mailcontent", "MIME-Version:
1.0\r\nContent-Type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\nFrom: ".
$youremail
. "\r\n" . $yourname . "\r\n");

The value for $yourname appears ahead of the message [$mailcontent] on
the same line. What I would like it to do is display the message, go
to a new line, then display $yourname.

Thanks in advance.

Well, then, you need to append $yourname to $mailcontent, and not to the
headers. What you have done makes $yourname the first line of the message,
since it's coming directly after the headers.

Thanks Tim. It worked.

I also discovered that in order to do line breaks effectively, I should
have been using the <br> line break HTML code instead of trying to use
the "\n"
