Does the PHPMailer class help?
http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

Features:

# Redundant SMTP servers
# Multipart/alternative emails for mail clients that do not read HTML email
# Support for 8bit, base64, binary, and quoted-printable encoding
# Uses the same methods as the very popular AspEmail active server (COM) component
# SMTP authentication
# Word wrap
# Address reset functions
# HTML email
# Tested on multiple SMTP servers: Sendmail, qmail, Postfix, Imail, Exchange, Mercury, Courier
# Works on any win32 or *nix platform
# Flexible debugging
# Custom mail headers
# Multiple fs, string, and binary attachments (those from database, string, etc)
# Embedded image support
