We are sending HTML mails to our clients but some clients getting HTML code instead of proper formatted output. We can't ask our client to changes settings etc.So, how can i send mail to deliver proper formatted output.

I would highly recommend the http://swiftmailer.org/ library.

See http://masom.posterous.com/using-swiftmailer-in-lithium for an example on php 5.3+

You need to send the emails in multipart format. This will enable the mail client to display a text version of your email if they do not support HTML. This will also require that you have both a text/html version of the email, or use a descent html2text converter.

I would recommend using the PHPMailer class to drastically simplify the process of sending the HTML emails with text content.

See, http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/

Sending the header Content-Type: text/html is sufficient for any client that can display HTML to treat your message as such. The problem is, not all clients understand HTML...

The safest bet is to always send a multipart message. It contains HTML for those clients that understand it and normal text for those that do not.

This tutorial covers the basic syntax.
