Try this. Watch for bad line breaks or an accidental typo in var names PSaw

//STEP 1 ************************************************
//SET UP XHTML VAR FOR BODY OF EMAIL USING A PHP 'HERE DOCUMENT' 

$XHTML_CONTENT.= <<< EOFSTR

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

//STEP 2 ************************************************
//SENDING XHTML EMAIL

$Subj = "Message for Them";

$headers = "From:you at yourco.com<> \n";

//this function used to report back friendly result of each email attempt

    }

return $emailResultMsg;

Ok I'll try to simplify this .. But .. Why do you need mime mail for what
you're doing?
You don't need to encode it unless you are attaching something to it(images
files... Etc...)
But to display an inline html doc as an email

just view he source to the email i just sent you...
and format it in that kind of fashion...

need more help .. email me offlist and i'll give you the full rundown
