You didn't create a body to your email!
The proper way to send an email through SMTP is:
DATA354 go aheadFrom: "Susan Day" <suzie@mydomain.com>

This is a test only a test.

>From earlier posts you will have seen that you need to create the headers
correctly in the body part of the email (just after you entered in DATA).
Also do not spoof the domain in the helo portion either.... your email MUST
be valid in every way or it WILL be discarded by the anti-spam measures.
Also if you continue to send "spam" to their servers you WILL become black
listed and then even legitimate email will not be delivered.

If you implement SPF make sure that you get it right or your mail will be
blocked.... there are plenty of spf checkers out there.

Finally, I would not send mail to service providers like hotmail or google
until I had my script emailing my local domain correctly.... at least when
you send mail to your localdomain, you're in control of the reception as
well as the transmission.

Good luck

Simon.

And it's not showing when you log into gmail? Then as I said, you need to
contact gmail support.

That's strange. Your mail headers say that not only do you have a
graphical email client, you are specifically using Thunderbird 3.0.2 to
read email. Which since I use it myself, I know displays HTML emails
just fine.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US;
rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100216 Thunderbird/3.0.2

You know, technically, he is right. Unless he installed X, he really
does not have X on his Mac OS X box. Thunderbird on Mac OS X is not
compiled against X.

He is just having some fun.
