Hi Ashish,

I'd normally suggest using a library or something ilke PEAR:Mail_Mime to achieve that, but have you tried setting the Content -type:

<?php
$headers         .= 'From: '.$from."\r\n".
                                   'Reply-To: '.$from."\r\n".
                                   'X-Mailer:PHP/'.phpversion(). "\r\n";
                                   'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
                                  'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
?>

I haven't tested, but its worth a try.
