In my Symfony2.1 application I’m using the SwiftMailer to send emails. Since I’m in dev mode, I’m not sending emails for reals. I control the output in the toolbar provided by the Profiler.

The email I’m sending is in HTML. So, to ensure HTML output I did the following settings:

$message = \Swift_Message::newInstance()
        ->setContentType("text/html")
        ->setSubject('Conferma registrazione nuovo utente')
        ->setFrom('xxx@xxx.com')
        ->setTo($email)
        ->setBody($this->renderView('AcmeMessageBundle:Contact:contact_request_email.html.twig', 'text/html');

$this->get('mailer')->send($message);

I suppose all the setting for HTML emails are ok. Notwithstanding that, I see that the emails sent are not shown as HTML in the Profiler dedicated area. In particular, all the HTML tags are escaped! Why? What am I missing in the settings?

    For dev it is recommended to set up something like Gmail to deal with emails

    # app/config/config_dev.yml
swiftmailer:
    transport: gmail
    username:  your_gmail_username
    password:  your_gmail_password

    As for HTML emails, I can’t tell exactly what’s your problem, it could be anything. HTML emails are not easy (it’s like developing for IE6), that’s why a lot of devs just choose to send text emails.
