    I'm using the mail() function to send activation emails to new users in an app I'm working on. The activation link appears as normal text instead of being presented as a hyperlink the way it is with programs like phpnuke. I must be missing something, but I don't know what it is.

    have you set the headers to html?
    header('Content-Type: text/html');
