html email still sending as text/plain

[eluser]doubleplusgood[/eluser]
Hey,
The email sending at the very bottom is actually to send an email to an external service which in turn sends the user a text message to their mobile phone.

I noticed quite after posting that your are sending not the same
message at that lines ... sorry

Did you try the code?

[eluser]doubleplusgood[/eluser]
No worries. Tried the code but hasn't made any change and the print_debugger shows nothing.

[eluser]LuckyFella73[/eluser]
Very strange..

I now uploaded the script to our server and made a test. All
data you get by POST were hardcoded in my testfile for saving time reasons
and I replaced my email adresses in th debug text before posting here ..

Everything worked fine. Here my debug text:

So your script seems to work. I didn't change anything from the codeblock I posted back
besides the POST data lines.

Hey. I notice in yours that you also have Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8. :S

This issue became apparent because the $description is some html formatted text coming from the database, which isn't displaying correctly in the email.

[eluser]LuckyFella73[/eluser]
When you look more closely at the debug text you will find both:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 and
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

As far as I know the plaintext version is send as well for e-mail clients
which are not able to render html mails ("multi-part message").

The text in my testmail was displayed correctly (ie pound sign). I think the debug
text is not displayed correct because I didn't set up a html header with
meta utf-8.

I checked my testmail (gmail) by clicking at "show original": there I can see
both versions (plain and html) - looks nearly like the debug msg from CI.

Edit: for I can see the "bold-parts" in my mail the html version obviously arrived..

Sorry that I don't have more ideas where to look or what could be wrong, hope that
informations help you to get on track
