I am using the following code which is being sent over SMTP. When email message is received in gmail raw html appears. In Outlook the message is blank. What is the issue? A php error or server problem?

(process-form.php)

Next time use Pastebin.
I think your problem is somehow HTML related, like a missing tag, or validation error. Try just sending a text email and build pieces bit by bit from.
Outlook and other email programs tend to be finicky in how they parse HTML, whereas Gmail (browser based to begin with), isn’t quite as finicky.
