Content-type: multipart/alternative;
boundary="$boundary"\n
Mime-version: 1.0\n
--$boundary\n
Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"\n
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7-bit\n\n
$text\n\n
--$boundary\n
Content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"\n
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7-bit\n\n
$html\n\n
--$boundary--\n
