Jump to PostJust simply add the html headers to the headers field. Below is a basic example:
// HTML headers $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; //now to send it mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);Hope it answers your question.

I'd recommend finding a good php library that allows for SMTP authentication. If the email client has decent security, php's plain old mail function with html headers is a sure fire way to get your email tossed in the junk folder. I use class.phpmailer.php. It also creates a plain text message for clients that don't allow html.

thnx cwarn23 it worked,
as for the class.phpmailer.php, should I put both versions (plain text And HTML) together in the mail? and what about the HTML tags, how can I make them disappear?

you could try this
<?
error_reporting(7);
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$firstname = $_POST["firstname"];
$lastname = $_POST["lastname"];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$country = $_POST["country"];
$telephone = $_POST["telephone"];
$message = $_POST['message'];
header("Location: thankyou.php");
$to = "$email";
$subject = "$firstname Confirmation Of Your Inquiry At WEBSITE NAME";
$MsgHeader = "From: WEBSITE NAME <noreply@website.com>\n";
$MsgHeader .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$MsgHeader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
$MsgBody = "
<html>
<head>
<title>$firstname Your Inquiry</title>
</head>
<body>
<table style='padding-left:0px' style='padding-top:0px'>
