    Mail isn’t HTML format by default, so it’s sending this as plain text. See Example #4 on the PHP page for mail() for sending HTML email. You need to specify the content type for the message headers:

    $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

    Note the .= operator being used here. You’d be appending this to your existing $headers value. So you’ll also want to make sure your existing header is terminated properly:

    $headers = "From:" . $from . "\r\n";
