Hmm, perhaps I came late to this thread. I thought he had a web page
which when submitted caused a PHP script to run that created the e-mail.
Hence my question.

Yeah yeah I know all this. I have written an email client myself so had
to research all this stuff, including wading through the RFCs I listed
above.

I'm trying to hint to the OP that there aren't any shortcuts. As Jerry
said, figure out what you want to do, first, then research and assemble
the components you need. Coding comes last.
