First, you should PROBABLY use \r\n to separate headers, unless you
know you are using a badly-broken (non-compliant) MTA.
Next, you should not tack on an extra \n (now \r\n) for the last
header -- PHP is gonna do it for you. You don't even need the
trailing \r\n for that matter, as PHP works it out... Though it's
good in case you add more headers.
Finally, if all else fails, I'm GUESSING that you may be stuck using
HTML-enhanced (cough, cough) email to get what you want... Which I
don't recommend, but if you must, you must, and http://phpclasses.org
has a class you can use to build it. Rolling your own is a real
PITA...
