I have write a code to send a mail, the mail has send but the content of the mail is send as HTML coding, can anybody help to solve this problem.
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is the content type I have used.
Thankyou
If your problem is to send email as plain text, than Content-Type must be changed to text/plain instead of text/html

Situation
I have a script that is downloading emails from a Gmail account, tweaking the content, and re-sending out the emails.
Problem
Whenever I create an email with an embedded image, Gmail displays the plain text version of the email and the embedded image appears like a regular attachment.
Tested
If I use a different client, the image displays properly. If I forward the email from Gmail to a different client, the image displays properly. Multi-part emails that have regular attachments, or that have both plain text and html parts display properly - as long as they don't have an embedded image.
Email format
From what I can see, the format of the email is correct, but I've pasted it below, trimmed for brevity & privacy. The 2 things I notice is that the boundary appears to be properly set, and the img src cid: matches the Content-ID of the image.

PHP code
Here is the PHP code that generates the Mailer object - which is a wrapper around Swiftmailer, and is used to do the actual sending:
$Mailer = new Mailer($subject_prepend.$this->subject);
// Simply a wrapper. Calls $this->Message->setBody($body,'text/plain');,
// where $this->Message is an instance of Swift_Message
$Mailer->setBody($plaintext_prepend.$this->plaintext);
$html_body = $html_prepend.$this->html;
if(count($this->Attachments)){
foreach($this->Attachments as $Attachment){
if($Attachment->isEmbedded()){
$image = \Swift_Image::fromPath($Attachment->getPath())->setDisposition('inline');
$cid = $Mailer->Message->embed($image);
//$cid = $Mailer->embedPath($Attachment->getPath());
$html_body = str_replace('cid:'.$Attachment->cid, $cid, $html_body);
}
else{
// calls $this->Message->attach(\Swift_Attachment::fromPath($path));
$Mailer->addAttachmentPath($Attachment->getPath());
}
}
}
// calls $this->Message->addPart($body,'text/html');
$Mailer->addHTMLBody($html_body);
The commented out line is how I was originally embedding the image, but it had the same result.

Is this some Gmail magic that's failing me, or is the email misconfigured somehow?
Edit
I managed to get the email sending properly with PHPMailer. The only difference I can see is that PHPMailer starts with:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="b1_6hukH7nTGJu6fpr5tpXob5uQE7wXivW0oMppPNbwOi4"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
where Swiftmailer starts with
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_=_swift_1575416351_99d22ee774049152f712bc5ae65340fb_=_"
ie: PHPMailer uses multipart/alternative rather than multipart/related, and sets Content-Transfer-Encoding.
Also, all textual parts of SwiftMailer's email was `Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable' whereas PHPMailer didn't set that header.
I stuck in a problem using 1C-Bitrix framework with PHPMailer. The problem connected with the email body.
1C-Bitrix framework prepares body depending on options enabled. For example, if I turn on the option "Create text vesion of html-email" the body will look like this:
---------alt8045b59706
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This is my email
---------alt8045b59706
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
<h1> This is my email </h1>
---------alt8045b59706--
If I the email template will have an attached txt file, the body will look like this:
---------mix4215b5973f
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="-------alt3795b5973f"
---------alt3795b5973f
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
This is my email
---------alt3795b5973f
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
<h1> This is my email </h1>
---------alt3795b5973f--
---------mix4215b5973f
Content-Type: text/plain; name="=?UTF-8?B?dGVzdC50eHQ=?="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <427605>
dGVzdCB0ZXh0Cg==
---------mix4215b5973f--
And, finally, the standard email body will look like this:
<h1> This is my email </h1>
I can't just feed such email body to PHPMailer. It doesn't work correctly. I tried msgHtml() - also doesn't work.
But standard php mail() func works well with such email body.
I found that in PHPMailer I need to set Body and AltBody separately. But then, what is the best way for me to parse such email body.
Maybe somebody knows a tool for it?
Or PHPMailer has a built in methods for it?
Maybe I need to just manually set correct "Content-Type" header (framework tells me correct Content-Type)
Thanks, in advance.
You don't need to think about those things - PHPMailer does it for you. This is all you need to do to make that structure:
$mail->isHTML();
$mail->Body = '<h1> This is my email </h1>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is my email';
$mail->addAttachment('path/to/file.pdf');
Also, the MIME structure in the example you gave for the message body with an attachment is incorrect, so I wouldn't expect it to work in any context.
App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
$Email = new CakeEmail();
$Email->to($emailContentArray['To']);
$Email->from(array($emailContentArray['From'] => Configure::read('FROM_NAME')));
$Email->subject($emailContentArray['Subject']);
$Email->emailFormat('both');
$response=$Email->send($emailContentArray['Body']);
if we check the resulting email it looks like:-
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="782f009f669cbcf2faafff59fe0eeb5d"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
X-Identified-User: {:test25.xyzzzz.com:testttt.com} {sentby:program running on server}
--782f009f669cbcf2faafff59fe0eeb5d
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="alt-782f009f669cbcf2faafff59fe0eeb5d"
--alt-782f009f669cbcf2faafff59fe0eeb5d
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In text/plain the email should not show the html tags - how can I get both html and plain text to be sent correctly?
Encode the content and the subject in base64:
"=?utf-8?b?".base64_encode($s)."?=";
And before sending the emails don't forget to set the header:
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64';
If I'm not wrong you can make to set header: $Email->setHeader('X-Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'base64');
You can take a look at Cakephp sending UTF-8 Emails and lineLength
And at http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-utility-libraries/email.html
I have a small "problem" with Zend_Mail_Storage_Imap and MultiPart Mails.
ContentType: multipart/alternative;
boundary=f46d043bd88a9f5d9004c87d2ad3
Part 1 has the Text of the Message, but with headers inside the content, so when i try
$part->getContent();
--f46d043bd88a9f5d9004c87d2ad3 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Hallo
is the result, how to extract the header information now?
Instead of:
$part->getContent();
do:
$part->getHeader();
to get Headers or if you want ONLY content then:
try:
while ($part->isMultipart()) {
$part = $message->getPart(1);
}
or
$message = $mail->getMessage($messageNum);
for content without body.
If issue persists, check your mail on mail client's like Gmail. Sometimes, we add header information twice (accidentally) whilst sending the mail.
Hope this helps :)
I have a script set up to send out multipart emails; plain text and html messages. The HTML messages work just fine, but when I used an email client that only does plain text the plaint text message does not render and I get the following:

The issue was white space in the heredoc syntax I'm using. It is not represented in the above example.
