I would recommend Swift Mailer:

Answer 2

From the documentation (Example #4 Sending HTML email):

Note the $message variables contents, and the value of the $headers variable.

$to       = "[email protected]";
$subject  = "HTML Email";
$message  = "Hello <img src='http://mysite.com/world.jpg' />";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: HTML Emailer <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
