I am having problems with email sent via the email class in Codeigniter displaying the source HTML code in the email message instead of the rendered HTML view. For testing, I am currently having CI on XAMPP on Windows, and using Gmail SMTP to send to the same gmail address.
The function that sends the email is as follows:
$config = Array(
'protocol' => 'smtp',
'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
'smtp_port' => 465,
'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
'smtp_pass' => 'mygmailpassword',
);
$this->load->library('email', $config);
$this->email->from($this->config->item('webmaster_email', 'tank_auth'), $this->config->item('website_name', 'tank_auth'));
$this->email->reply_to($this->config->item('webmaster_email', 'tank_auth'), $this->config->item('website_name', 'tank_auth'));
$this->email->to($email);
$this->email->subject(sprintf($this->lang->line('auth_subject_'.$type), $this->config->item('website_name', 'tank_auth')));
$this->email->message($this->load->view('email/'.$type.'-html', $data, TRUE));
$this->email->set_alt_message($this->load->view('email/'.$type.'-txt', $data, TRUE));
$this->email->set_newline("\r\n"); // require this, otherwise sending via gmail times out
$this->email->send();
There is no problem getting the text version sent. The view loaded is a html file that will be emailed out.

Any ideas how to get HTML emails sent to be rendered instead of displaying its source code?

Try adding the mailtype to the config:
$config = Array(
'mailtype' => 'html',
...etc...
);
