$cabeceras = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

a) try to disable this line:
$cabeceras = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

in my case that helped form me.

Also try to output the variables before you sending the mail to make sure your variables actually have any values in them.

Yes, most problems like this are down to missing headers, as Alexus suggested.

I disabled the line:

$cabeceras = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

and checked if the variables have values...indeed they had, but i still recieve the mail without body!

here is the link (http://servicios.mecatronicsltda.com/reportes/orden.php) of the page, when you click in "crear" it goes to insertorden.php that has the code above, it also print the values of the variables

echo $nombre;
echo $texto;
echo $prioridad;
echo $fecha;

ok so in another word your mail function doesnt work
so how about just create plane new page with only the mail function on it and then try to send plain text (NO Htmal) is that works add HTML, then add variables

the mail function works, i replace the "body" of the mail with

<html>
<head>
<title>Birthday Reminders for August</title>
</head>
<body>
Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person</th><th>Day</th><th>Month</th><th>Year</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td><td>3rd</td><td>August</td><td>1970</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sally</td><td>17th</td><td>August</td><td>1973</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

and it works...

oh i didnt see that thingie... tats not the problem with the font it problem with /*
that symbol in PHP means we are quoting out the code...
so
//quoted out text will not be shown
echo "in similar way"; /* this part will not be shown as it is quoted out, notice begining and the end of the quotes */

in tour case you opened PHP quote and dint close it as result you quored out the rest of your code.

So try this:
