puzzling error msg in form validation controller

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
Well my Emails are sent as HTML, so I'd have a view like this:

Code:

<p>
    Hi, &lt;?php echo $username; ?&gt;
</p>
<p>
    You are recieving this message because &lt;?php echo $last_post_user_name; ?&gt; has replied to a topic you have subscribed to.
</p>
<p>
    Please click <a href="&lt;?php echo site_url('forums/view_post/'.$post['id']); ?&gt;" title="View Topic &apos;&lt;?php echo $topic['title']; ?&gt;&apos;">here to view the topic.
</p>

Then from my controller, I should be able to grab the body of the email like this:

Code:

$email_body = $this->load->view('email', $data, TRUE);

Then I can use that as the Email body, and configure the Email library accordingly.

Hope this helps.
