Note use of double quotes. Very important. MIME, unlike HTML, does not
allow you to switch between single and double quotes in headers.
You are also missing the required "MIME-Version: 1.0" header.

Here you not using double quotes, you are using single quotes.

And again. Also it looks like you are missing the blank line between
the multipart/mixed section's headers and the enclosed
multipart/alternative boundary.
MIME is complicated, different from HTML, and flexible in different
ways than HTML. Unless you know those details, and have a good reason
to roll your own, you are probably better off using a pre-built library.
