I'm trying to send html email with the email class. This is my code..

Code:
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';

$this->email->initialize($config);

$this->email->from($this->config->item('support_email'), $this->config->item('support_name'));

$this->email->to($this->input->post('email'));

$this->email->subject(lang('email.subject.forgot.password'));

$message = $this->parser->parse('email-templates/'.$this->config->item('language').'/forgot_password_template.html', $email_data, TRUE);

$this->email->message($message);

$this->email->send();

This is my template:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt;

&lt;title&gt;{site_name} | Forgot Password Notification&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body style="background-color:#f7f7f7;"&gt;

<div style="border:5px solid #ffffff; width:642px; background-color:#ffffff;">

    <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;">

        {site_name} | Forgot Password Notification

    </div>

    <div style="border:1px solid #e3f4f8; background-color:#ffffff; padding:20px; font-family:Arial, Sans-serif; font-size:13px; width:600px;">

        <p style="padding:0; margin:0;">

            <span style="font-size:19px;">Dear, {alias}!</span>

            <br /><br />

            You recently went through the password recovery process at {site_name}. The recovery was successful.

            <br /><br />

            <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;">

                <span style="font-weight:bold;">Your password is:</span> {password}

            </div>

            If you feel you are receiving this email in error, please contact {support_email}.

            <br /><br />

            <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;">

                <a style="text-decoration:none;" href="{egift_link}">Click here</a> to go to the login page.<br />

            </div>

            <br /><br />

            All the best,

            <br /><br />

            <span style="font-weight:bold;">{site_name} Team.</span>

        </p>

    </div>

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

And for some reason i receive this in outlook. I feel like its a charset or encoding problem.

[eluser]JHackamack[/eluser]
Are you only seeing this problem in outlook? or have you tested on other email clients and are seeing the same problem. Also, looking through an email class i've been able to get to successfully go through, try changing adding this little bit of html to your email:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

or another doctype format that you use.

FWIW, =09 is hex code for the TAB character

It looks like it might be something with the newlines and tabs. Have you tried removing the white space in your html?

01-11-2010, 03:51 PM

[eluser]sophistry[/eluser]
also, this string in the HTML part looks wrong:

=?utf-8?Q?Password_Retrieval?=

what is that doing there? it looks like it is supposed to be a subject, but it is getting stuffed into the message.

[eluser]rossmurphy[/eluser]
I removed the white space lines, now i'm getting this...
