How to setup plesk to use mail() to send HTML email

mail() HTML email not working

Hi,

I have just signed up to a virtual host plan running with Virtuzzo & Plesk on a Linux.

I'm trying to send HTML email via PHP (mail() function) and it is not working. The server receiving the HTML email does not understand that it actually IS an HTML email. I know my script is correct because on other servers it works fine (a copy of the script below).

Is there something to enable in the php.ini file or in Qmail or Sendmail.

Code:
    $to = '[email protected]';
    $subject = "Email Subject";
    						
    $body = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">\n\n<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">\n
    <head>\n
    <title>The Title</title>\n
    </head>\n
    your message<br />\n
    Your Message\n
    </body>\n
    </html>\n";
    						
    $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'."\r\n";
    $headers .= 'To: '.$name.' <'.$email.'>,' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'From: Name<[email protected]>'."\r\n";

    if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)){
    echo "Mail has been sent";
    }else{
    echo "Mail Failed";
    }


Please help me....

Thanks in advance.
