Aside of mail_open("fooo") being wrong thing
(should be: mail_open(MSG_RFC822) -- no quotes!)
I don't see anything immediately obviously wrong.
(Not to mention of using fixed size buffer which is supposedly
large enough to fit entire message inside it -- a bad assumption.
Also the message being sent is suspicuous with misplaced HTML
stuff at the end of the Content-Transfer-Encoding: header..)
After I fixed that bit, the thing worked and messages got sent
(at first to Yahoo, then to myself when I noticed what the file
contains..)

Latter today: Two days at St. Petersburg (the one at Russian next to
Finnish border, not e.g. at Florida, USA.)
