Most of these extra mail libraries are overkill. Did you look at the PHP
site documentation for the mail() function? There are some examples
(perhaps contributed by 3rd parties) which show you how to send HTML
emails. If you always use the same format, i.e. maybe with no additional
attachments, it is pretty simple to roll your own function using the
mail() function.

Also, it is a good idea to read the RFC docs referenced in the PHP site
to understand what is going on WRT email headers.
