And here are my email settings in application/config/email.php

Code:
$config['useragent']    = "CodeIgniter";
$config['mailpath']        = "/usr/sbin/sendmail";    // Sendmail path
$config['protocol']        = "mail";                // mail/sendmail/smtp
$config['smtp_host']    = "";                    // SMTP Server.  Example: mail.earthlink.net
$config['smtp_user']    = "";                    // SMTP Username
$config['smtp_pass']    = "";                    // SMTP Password
$config['smtp_port']    = "25";                    // SMTP Port
$config['smtp_timeout']    = 5;                    // SMTP Timeout in seconds
$config['wordwrap']        = TRUE;                    // TRUE/FALSE  Turns word-wrap on/off
$config['wrapchars']    = "76";                    // Number of characters to wrap at.
$config['mailtype']        = "html";            // text/html  Defines email formatting
$config['charset']        = "utf-8";                // Default char set: iso-8859-1 or us-ascii
$config['multipart']    = "mixed";                // "mixed" (in the body) or "related" (separate)
$config['alt_message']    = '';                    // Alternative message for HTML emails
$config['validate']        = FALSE;                // TRUE/FALSE.  Enables email validation
$config['priority']        = "3";                    // Default priority (1 - 5)
$config['newline']        = "\n";                    // Default newline. "\r\n" or "\n" (Use "\r\n" to comply with RFC 822)
$config['crlf']            = "\n";                    // The RFC 2045 compliant CRLF for quoted-printable is "\r\n".  Apparently some servers,
                                                // even on the receiving end think they need to muck with CRLFs, so using "\n", while
                                                // distasteful, is the only thing that seems to work for all environments.

Ok so i used a new installation of codeigniter to test this. Here is my code:

Code:
<?php

class Emailtest extends Controller {

    function Emailtest()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        $this->load->library('parser');
        $this->load->library('email');
        
        $config['mailtype'] = 'html';

        $this->email->initialize($config);
        
        $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Support name');
        $this->email->to('[email protected]');

        $this->email->subject('Email Test');
        
        $message = '<html>';
        $message .= '<head>';
        $message .= '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />';
        $message .= '<title>{site_name} | Forgot Password Notification</title>';
        $message .= '</head>';
        $message .= '<body style="background-color:#f7f7f7;">';
        $message .= '<div style="border:5px solid #ffffff; width:642px; background-color:#ffffff;">';
        $message .= '<div style="height:16px; padding:6px 4px 4px 8px; color:#016599; font-family:Arial, Sans-serif; width:630px; font-size:11px; font-weight:bold; background-color:#e3f4f8;">';
        $message .= '{site_name} | Forgot Password Notification';
        $message .= '</div>';
        $message .= '<div style="border:1px solid #e3f4f8; background-color:#ffffff; padding:20px; font-family:Arial, Sans-serif; font-size:13px; width:600px;">';
        $message .= '<p style="padding:0; margin:0;">';
        $message .= '<span style="font-size:19px;">Dear, {alias}!</span>';
        $message .= '<br /><br />';
        $message .= 'You recently went through the password recovery process at {site_name}. The recovery was successful.';
        $message .= '<br /><br />';
        $message .= '<div style="width:98%; height:23px; padding:8px 0 4px 2%; background-color:#f6f6f6; border:1px solid #eeeeee; border-width:1px 1px 4px 1px; margin:12px 0;">';
        $message .= '<span style="font-weight:bold;">Your password is:</span> {password}';
        $message .= '</div>';
        $message .= 'If you feel you are receiving this email in error, please contact {support_email}.';
        $message .= '<br /><br />';
        $message .= '<div style="width:98%; height:23px; padding:8px 0 4px 2%; background-color:#f6f6f6; border-top:1px solid #eeeeee; border-bottom:1px solid #eeeeee; margin:12px 0;">';
        $message .= '<a style="text-decoration:none;" href="{egift_link}">Click here</a> to go to the login page.<br />';
        $message .= '</div>';
        $message .= '<br /><br />';
        $message .= 'All the best,';
        $message .= '<br /><br />';
        $message .= '<span style="font-weight:bold;">{site_name} Team.</span>';
        $message .= '</p>';
        $message .= '</div>';
        $message .= '</div>';
        $message .= '&lt;/body&gt;';
        $message .= '&lt;/html&gt;';
        
        $this->email->message($message);

        $this->email->send();

        echo $this->email->print_debugger();
    }
}

This is what i am still getting:

Quote:{site= _name} | Forgot Password Notification
Dear, {alias}!

You recently went= through the password recovery process at {site_name}. The recovery was suc= cessful.



Your password= is: {password}

Well your single quotes are preventing the variables from being replaced, so thats one problem.

I'm not using the parser here so don't worry about that.

Downloaded a fresh CI install Copied your code (except put it in the welcome controller as i was too lazy) And received the HTML Email using the Apple Mail Program.
All I changed was the config.php file to point to localhost
Welcome.php
Code:
&lt;?php

class Welcome extends Controller {

    function Welcome()
    {
        parent::Controller();    
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        $this->load->library('parser');
        $this->load->library('email');
        
        $config['mailtype'] = 'html';

        $this->email->initialize($config);
        
        $this->email->from('[email protected]', 'Support name');
        $this->email->to('Hidden for Anonimity');

        $this->email->subject('Email Test');
        $message = '&lt;html&gt;';
...snip for length...
        $message .= '&lt;/html&gt;';
        $this->email->message($message);

        $this->email->send();

        echo $this->email->print_debugger();
    }
}

/* End of file welcome.php */

This has to do with your lines being over 76 characters long, and the content-transfer-encoding being quoted-printable.

Even in JHackamack's debug the equal signs are present, but his email client is stripping them out.

Seems like an e-mail client issue. Maybe it's confused as to why you would use 8bit encoding for your text/plain part, and 7bit encoding for your text/html part Tongue (not you personally, but codeigniter)

Thanks for your help. Can anyone point me to a CI tutorial for sending HTML email? I cannot get a single HTML email to send properly. But in 1.7.1 i had no problem.

I tried to change the miltipart setting to related and in the debugger i saw the correct email but in my email it was blank.

Double check your email connection settings. Make sure your host supports either php's native mailer or sendmail. If you want a tutorial you can use my above example as a good starting point, as it successfully works.

This won't help you with codeigniter's library, but you might use it for testing:

Code:
$to = "[email protected]";

$header = "From: John Doe <[email protected]>\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
  
$message = "<p>This <b>is</b> <i>an</i> <u>html</u><br />\n";
$message .= "email! </p><br /> <hr />";
    
mail($to, 'subject', $message, $header);
