You have specify headers.

$to = $torecoveremail;
$subject = "You Forgot Your Password At: " . $title;

$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n";
$headers .= "CC: [email protected]\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= '<p>Your Username: ben</p>';
$message .= '<p>Your Email: [email protected]</p>';
$message .= '<p>Your First Name: ben</p>';
$message .= '<p>Your Last Name: ben</p>';
$message .= '<p>Reset Password Follow This Link:</p>';
$message .= '<p><a href="yourphotomake.info/shiylohs/cms/admin432/passreset.php?id=15">Reset Password</a></p>';
$message .= '</body></html>';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

For more options use PHPMAILER. Its very useful.

Be sure to include the Content-Type member in the 4th parameter. See the following example (slightly modified from php.net/mail):

<?PHP
$message = "<HTML><BODY><B>SOME HTML</B></BODY></HTML>";

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <[email protected]>, Kelly <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Also noted on PHP.net:

Note:

If intending to send HTML or otherwise Complex mails, it is recommended to use the PEAR package » PEAR::Mail_Mime.
