  I get similar results when I send email from my local system, but sending from the server is just fine. Could that be it?

  (Only checked in Mail, I should mention.)

  it may be that the php your using just isn't any good and for email environments that don't support HTML it isn't supplying a text only version but showing the whole php code'n'all. i could be totally wrong of course.

  also, have you looked at the notes from other users on that page you linked, that may be a similar issue?

  ... the strange thing is that if i send to my account it is fine... e.g. (which i pick up in gmail) but if i send it to say it loses some of the formatting

  Google, yahoo, hotmail and other webmails have their own CSS and can overwrite your CSS.
  There are different triggers that can set-up their CSS or that avoids it.
  It is not unusual for this to happen.

  yeah it wasn't the css doing it, it was just not applying the PHP alt stuff properly... worked though when sending from my own domain... so I'm doing a workaround
