I've just read a similar post and think that I should use file_get_contents
and the preg_match for the <table> & </table> tags.
...But if anyone knows a better way I'm all ears!

Sorry Mark,
What I meant is say a page outputs an HTML table eg:
<table width="100" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>a</td>
<td>b</td>
<td>c</td>
<td>d</td>
<td>e</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>f</td>
<td>g</td>
<td>h</td>
<td>i</td>
<td>j</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>k</td>
<td>l</td>
<td>m</td>
<td>n</td>
<td>o</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>p</td>
<td>q</td>
<td>r</td>
<td>s</td>
<td>t</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>u</td>
<td>v</td>
<td>w</td>
<td>x</td>
<td>y</td>
</tr>
</table>
But I want to get that code into the $message variable.
I have written many mail scripts before it's just getting the data into
the variable.
Should I be using something like CURL?
