Does anyone know how to send HTML e-mails? I'd like to have the option of sending an HTML email manuely, and automaticly through perhaps the PHP command mail(). Thanks to anyone and everyone!

Don't. Your users will thank you.

just because it's HTML, doesn't mean it has to have a bunch of images. I'd like to use it so I can bold things, color things as I please. things of that nature, probably have my logo at the bottom
The security minded don't read email in HTML, so not only will your pretty formatting be lost on them, but they'll also be annoyed because they'll see tag soup when they should be reading your message.
Reading in plaintext is a choice the person reading the mail makes in the email client; you can't override this if that's what they've chosen to do.
I use a php mail class called "phpmailer".
It allows you to easily add attachments and create HTML emails.
I usually don't like using mail() since, as far as I know, you have to specify your smtp server/login/password in your php.ini file.
