I am having problems with email sent through an email class in Codeigniter, displaying the HTML source code in the email message instead of the displayed HTML view. For testing, I currently have CI on XAMPP on Windows and using Gmail SMTP to send to the same gmail address.
The function sending the email is as follows:
$config = Array( 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com', 'smtp_port' => 465, 'smtp_user' => ' myaccountname@gmail.com ', 'smtp_pass' => 'mygmailpassword', ); $this->load->library('email', $config); $this->email->from($this->config->item('webmaster_email', 'tank_auth'), $this->config->item('website_name', 'tank_auth')); $this->email->reply_to($this->config->item('webmaster_email', 'tank_auth'), $this->config->item('website_name', 'tank_auth')); $this->email->to($email); $this->email->subject(sprintf($this->lang->line('auth_subject_'.$type), $this->config->item('website_name', 'tank_auth'))); $this->email->message($this->load->view('email/'.$type.'-html', $data, TRUE)); $this->email->set_alt_message($this->load->view('email/'.$type.'-txt', $data, TRUE)); $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");
No problem sending text version. The loaded view is an html file that will be sent by email.

Any ideas on how to get sent HTML messages to be displayed instead of displaying its source code?
