Question

I have a custom module that I’m trying to generate an HTML email from using the drupal_mail function (D7). Mail is coming through, and even shows text/html, however something somewhere appears to be stripping out the HTMl before it gets to an inbox.

First, in a function I’m building my title/body/other vars and sending to a custom function:

    $body = "We thought you'd like to know that ".$fullname." has marked your project as completed.
    <br /><br />
    Please visit the link at <a href='http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/survey/customer/".$customer[0]->unique_id."'>http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/survey/customer/".$customer[0]->unique_id."</a> to take the survey.";
    $returnMail = latch_send_mail('pro_realized',$customer[0]->customer_email,$user->mail,$title,$body);

Then I have the latch_mail latch_send_email functions:

function latch_mail($key, &$message, $params) {
    $headers = array(
    'MIME-Version' => '1.0',
    'Content-Type' => 'text/html; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed',
    'Content-Transfer-Encoding' => '8Bit',
    'X-Mailer' => 'Drupal'
);

foreach ($headers as $key => $value) {
    $message['headers'][$key] = $value;
}

$message['body'][] = $params['body'];
$message['subject'] = $params['subject'];
}

and

function latch_send_mail($key,$to,$from,$title,$body,$headers='') {
    $params['body']=$body;
    $params['subject'] = t($title);
    return drupal_mail('latch', $key, $to, language_default(), $params, $from,TRUE);
}

I would expect the emails to come through with my a tags and br tags, but it comes through like this:

We thought you'd like to know that John Doe has marked your project as completed. Please visit the link at http://latch.local/survey/customer/34c91b8883cd70b32c65feb7adf9c393 [1] to take the survey. [1] http://latch.local/survey/customer/34c91b8883cd70b32c65feb7adf9c393

Somehow it’s taking my links and turning them into footnotes while removing the br tags completely.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Out of the box, Drupal can’t send HTML email. In order for Drupal to support HTML email you need the HTML Mail module. http://drupal.org/project/htmlmail Once you have that all HTML should be sent as such.
