Multipart email with swift

Question

Multipart messages are not being correctly shown on gmail when on the iPhone. I have:

$message->setBody($this->body, 'text/html');
$message->addPart($this->text_body, 'plain/text');

I have also used:

$message->addPart($this->body, 'text/html');
$message->addPart($this->text_body, 'plain/text');

But in both cases, when reading gmail from the iPhone I get the message as a 'MIME-attachment'... No html and the MIME-attachment cannot even be read. The message will display fine if I don't add the text part...

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I know this post is quite old, but in case someone finds this on Google like I did, the problem above is the mine-type definition. The correct mime-type is text/plain and not plain/text, like so :

$message->addPart($this->text_body, 'text/plain');

The final version that worked for me looks like this :

$message->setBody($this->body, 'multipart/alternative');
$message->addPart($this->body, 'text/html');
$message->addPart($this->text_body, 'text/plain');

Answer 2

You need to do:

$message->setBody($your_plain_text_email_here);
$message->addPart($your_html_email_here, 'text/html');

I just had the exact same question and this worked for me on the Mac mail app, iPhone mail app and Horde (webmail, it came up as plain text.)
