Well, your e-mail headers are valid. If you will permit the obvious
question, is your gmail account configured to display HTML email?

You might try making the email multipart/alternative with a text/plain
section and a text/html section. You shouldn't have to do that, but it's
the most common way to do HTML mail.

Again I ask, are you sure that your gmail account is configured to display
HTML e-mail at all?

I don't know gmail at all, but the symptoms you describe seem to imply that
that gmail is just not displaying HTML email. Do you get ANY HTML email
that is displayed correctly?

Your are probably not composing it correctly. You may want to try this
class for composing and sending e-mail message according to the Internet
standards.

There was nothing wrong with your original headers. The only thing I can
suggest is witchcraft and superstition: move the "From" header before
MIME-Version, add a "To" header specifically, etc.

Is your web site publicly available anywhere? I'd love to have it send an
e-mail directly to me so I can examine the actual headers that it sent.
