    Try this:

    $email = "email@example.com";
    $subject = "My Subject";

    $header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";
    $header .= 'Content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1'."\r\n";
    $header .= "Reply-To: My Name <myemail@example.com>\r\n";
    $header .= "Return-Path: My Name <myemail@example.com>\r\n";
    $header .= "From: My Name <myemail@example.com>\r\n";
    $header .= "Organization: MyOrganization \r\n";
    $body = "HTML MESSAGE BODY HERE";
