    Just send a normal HTML email and enclose the tags that you want to be displayed as tags in <pre> .... </pre>

    Well, you shouldn't even have to do that, as PHP only sends text based mail unless you tell it to send HTML mail with additional MIME types.

    Some email clients will interpret the HTML even with out the correct MIMe type.

    YOu could also use php´s htmlspecialchars() to make the HTML visible. :)
