How to send the exact edited text using CKEditor - php

Question

I have created a contact me page that uses CK Editor to edit the content of the mail. I am using xampp/ localhost to test the mail. I want the mail to be exactly like i edit it in the editor
For example the bold part in editor doesnot show up bold in the mail it is sent as
<strong>SOMETHING IN BOLD</strong>
How do i use CK editor or any other so that the mail is sent as
SOMETHING IN BOLD
and not as shown above.
Thank you.

Looks like you're not sending an HTML-header with the email. Here you can see how you can do this: (example 3) http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_mail_mail.asp
<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {
// ... email settings ...
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $sender <$senderEmail>" . "\r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $mailBody, $headers);
// ...
}
?>
