email contents not showing

I have an issue with some emails that are being sent from my PHP application.

The emails are being received blank and they are all getting sent to a specific address. These emails are also CC'ed to an address i have control over and they are all received correctly. All the emails are sent in HTML.

I do not have control over the remote email address that these emails are sent to, but i am 100% sure they go through some kind of M$ exchange spam filter. Could it be the filter that is causing the data to go missing?

Any other thoughts on this would be great!

You say all emails are sent in HTML. You may need to send plain text to go with it - to cater for those email clients that dont support HTML. http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/send_email_text_html_attachment.php.

This is a copy-paste from the above link:

<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = '[email protected]';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'Test HTML email';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\nReply-To: [email protected]";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> 
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello World!!! 
This is simple text email message. 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> 
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p>

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer
$message = ob_get_clean();
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" 
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>
