HTML Email not working well with Gmail - El Forum - 04-15-2009
[eluser]nbdr[/eluser]
Hello,
I use auth_redux to register users. The email the system sends is received badly on gmail.
It looks like this on Gmail:
Quote:Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_ALT_49e5c2342bf50"
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Your email application may not support this format.
--B_ALT_49e5c2342bf50

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Alternate message

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

On yahoo it looks OK.
I tried many changes to the config. (remove multipart etc...) non seems to work.

HTML Email not working well with Gmail - El Forum - 04-15-2009

If you open up the Email from within GMail, and at the top-left, where it says reply, there's a drop down menu. Click on that, and then click "Show Original". Please paste the contents of that.

HTML Email not working well with Gmail - El Forum - 04-15-2009
[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
The only real difference I can see between your Email and my Email, is the alternate text encoding.
Yours: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Mine: Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
But I seriously doubt that's the problem.
What I suspect is happening, is that the code is invalid (I know Web-based Email clients are not known for valid HTML, but still). As you're viewing via a Web client, an html and title tag already exists on the page. I'd suggest you try sending the Email without the <html>, <head> or <title> tags. I reckon it'll display properly then.

Hi all!
I'm having the exact same problem and would like to know if there's some fix?
All my html emails for de CI email class don't play well with GMail, Windows Live Mail doesn't have any problems altough at the end there's a strange 'ALT_lkjlkqs' string.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

It might not be the fix for you, but when I had a problem with gmail last week, changing the protocol from 'mail' to 'sendmail' was the solution.

i'm surprised more people don't ask about this problem. I have this problem on two of my sites. you get "=" every X number of characters. I managed to fix it once by changing the email library - but for some reason that fix isn't working these days.
It's really annoying and comes down to how the library works. There is some stuff in there that ensures the email complies with some sort of protocol for emails... Surely everyone has problems because of it - I would love to know the perfect setup to not have such problems.
I've discussed this on another thread in the past and there was never a resolution from what I can see.

The real problem is probably server configuration, and not the Email class. Having used other email classes before, and also having coded email to run procedurally on different servers, there's just a lot of little things that can make the sending of email not happen exactly the way we want it to. Heck, on my last job, I even called the host to try to figure out what was going on with email, and they didn't even know. The great thing is, it's really easy to use a different library, or use some formmail script like Russell's at Tectite.com. Something should work for you, so just make it happen!

Instead of looking what exactly causes this problem, i'm now using Swift Mailer which seems to send out my mail just right.
I've replaced the CI Email class with my own (in the app directory, not library in system) and used the same interface so nothing broke in my application.
If I got the time and anyone's interested, I could post an example.
