The short version is that you are probably best off creating a HTML formatted messages, and using the header parameter of the php mail function.

 $headers = "From: sender@example.com\n" .
    "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
    "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
 mail(to@example.com, 'subject line', 'your message text with HTML in it', $headers);
