Did I miss something or the following line in your code is useless?

> $smtp = "localhost";

Brad, if you really need SMTP configuration, and you want to make your life
easier with attachments and extra headers, give a chance to PHPMailer
http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/. It's free, easy to set up and use, and
can do much more than you need.
