E-Mail Encoding Problem

@InsiteFX: really? I have numerous views for sending e-mail, they all have standard html code, including the <br /> tag.
@Waschi, a tip:

PHP Code:

To complete the Account-Registration click on the following link: <br />
<a href="<?php echo base_url() . 'auth/verify/' . $userID . '/' . $verifyCode;?>">Verify Account</a> 


Isn't that much better readable (less php code clutter)?
Although your controller files must be in firstcaps, don't use that in your URL's. That's why I changed it to auth/verify.
