Try it:

$ret=mail("support@cynapse.co.in","Site Support Request",$comments1,"From:user@cynapse.co.in\r\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n") or die("Could not send support request. Please try again later.");

$headers = "From:u@me.com\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

Better way is so:
$headers = "From:u@me.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
