Phpmailer sending attachments, but not the body - php

Question

I have a form that im trying to get emailed on submit using PHPmailer. For some reason, phpmailer is sending the attachments of the email, but not the body/message. Heres my phpmailer file..
$name = "Purchase Form";
$email_subject = "New Purchase Ticket";
$body = "geg";
foreach ($_REQUEST as $field_name => $value){
if (!empty($value)) $body .= "$field_name = $value\n\r";
}
$Email_to = "jonahkatz#yahoo.com"; // the one that recieves the email
$email_from = "No reply!";
//
//==== PHP Mailer With Attachment Func ====\\
//
function SendIt() {
//
global $attachments,$body,$name,$Email_to,$email_subject,$email_from;
//
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsQmail();// send via SMTP
$mail->From = $email_from;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->AddAddress($Email_to);
$mail->AddReplyTo($email_from);
$mail->WordWrap = 50;// set word wrap
$mail->IsHTML = true;
$mail ->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AltBody = 'to view blah';
foreach($_FILES as $key => $file){
$target_path = "uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path .basename($file['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "the file ".basename($file['name'])." has been uploaded";
}else {
echo "there was an error";
}
$mail->AddAttachment($target_path);
}
$mail->Subject = $email_subject;
if(!$mail->Send())
{
}
//
{echo "Message has been sent";}
foreach($_FILES as $key => $file){
$target_path = "uploads/";
$target_path = $target_path .basename($file['name']);
unlink($target_path);}
}
SendIt();
}
?>
Any input? Thanks.

->MsgHTML() doesn't set the body. It returns a modified version with inlined-img urls and whatnot and DOES set the AltBody to a text-version of the HTML. You still need to do
$mail->Body = $body;
