It looks fine to me. The only difference is that I use 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable, which shouldn't make 
much of a difference here. A very small misplacement of a newline 
character or even a space can cause things not to work correctly.

Your best course of debugging is to send a successful (look for a 
"send this page as email" link) HTML email to your outlook account. 
Open the message in a new window and inspect the headers carefully. 
Then you try to mimic that.

In the end I skip using php's mail() function and use a socket 
connection and speak directly with the SMTP host.

It all seems so easy in the beginning, but as soon as you start 
testing your html email in different email programs you realize that 
they all behave slight differently. The differences between Eudora, 
Outlook, Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, Pine, etc are enough to drive you nuts.
