Answer : XP SMTP Mail

Is it really blank? An error in the HMTL code may prevent it from displaying correctly...
In your e-mail software, can you view the source code of the e-mail? Check if something is there. If your HTML code shows up then there is a problem with the HTML itself. If it doesn't the problem is probably in the script.
