Rmail for PHP: A PHP class to send email with attachments

Introduction

This is a class that can send all sorts of email. Plain text, HTML (with or without images), attachments etc. First written in 2000, it's very mature and is in use by lots of major websites. Updated for PHP5, it takes advantage of PHP5 features to be very efficient at sending all sorts of email.

User contributions

• The namedFileAttachment.php (from Peter Van Valderen) file allows you to specify a different file name for an attachment if you wish.
• This diff (from http://www.travishegner.com/) makes RMail work nicely when you have your error level set to include E_STRICT.
