send html format

For HTML e-mails, I do something like this:

Code:

$this->load->library('email');
$email_config['protocol'] = 'smtp';
$email_config['smtp_host'] = 'SERVER';
$email_config['smtp_user'] = 'USER';
$email_config['smtp_pass'] = 'PASS';
$email_config['smtp_port'] = '26';
$this->email->initialize($email_config);
            
$this->email->from('EMAIL ADDRESS', 'Web Administrator');
$this->email->to('RECIPIENT');
            
$this->email->subject('EMAIL SUBJECT');
    
            
$this->email->message($this->load->view('mail/free_estimate', array(
'name_first' => $this->input->post('name_first'),
'name_last' => $this->input->post('name_last'),
'addr_home_street' => $this->input->post('addr_home_street'),
'addr_home_city' => $this->input->post('addr_home_city'),
'addr_home_state' => $this->input->post('addr_home_state'),
'addr_home_zip' => $this->input->post('addr_home_zip'),
'phone_home' => $this->input->post('phone_home'),
'email_home' => $this->input->post('email_home')
), TRUE));
$this->email->send();

Then just make a view file containing the message HTML and use code like <?= $name_first ?> to display info.
