Hi all,

I have a problem with my action mailer .!

When i send mail in the email it shows the html tags same written as in mailer view html

here is my code:

In the Model :----------------

class CronjobMailer < ActionMailer::Base def cronjob(sender,recipients, subject, message, late_commers)    @bcc = recipients    @recipients = 'support@eabyas.in'    @from = sender    @subject = subject    @late_commers = late_commers    @sent_on = Time.now    @body[:message] = message end end

:----------------

In the Cronjob_mailer view in cronjob.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head>    <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> </head> <body>    <h1>Welcome to example.com</h1>    <p>      You have successfully signed up to example.com,      your username is: .<br/>    </p>    <p>      To login to the site, just follow this link: .    </p>    <p>Thanks for joining and have a great day!</p> </body> </html>

and here is how i am initiating the mailer

CronjobMailer::deliver_cronjob(sender,recipient_list,@subject,@messege, @late_commers)

when i deliver mail in the email it gives me the same code instead of html output .

Please help me Thanks in advance

Interesting. What version of Rails are you using? I'm still in 3.0 and I deliver stuff like in the rails guide:

UserMailer.welcome_email(@user).deliver

In your case I would see it like CronjobMailer.cronjob(sender,recipient_list,@subject,@messege, @late_commers).deliver have you tried something like that?

Well it is long time ago since I used Rails 2.3 For sure the Rails guide that I suggested is for Rails 3.0.x and the mailer logic was changed and improved from 2.3 to 3.0. Many things changed there.

If you are just starting the project I would recommend upgrading at least to Rails 3.0 and if you dare even to Rails 3.1 which is the new beast. If you need to stick to rails 2.3 maybe this is old enough

Cheers.

I have added @content_type = 'text/plain' in the mailer method it worked.
