I’m working on an html welcome email to new users, but it’s not working. When I send it, it’s displaying the html code as text, as opposed to rendering the actual html. I made the html of my template starting with a template from Mailchimp, so I’m surprised it doesn’t work. Also, when I send the email using Putsmail.com and emailonacid.com, it looks fine.
However, in production, the email sends and the html appears as text in the email, like so (from registration_confirmation.html.erb):

You appear to be missing the content-type:
It defaults to
text/plain, so you must explicitly set it for an HTML or multipart message.
