Question

Now the data looks like this in the database:

Hej [indtaster_navn]<br><br>I forbindelse med noget på ændring af xxxxxx er der behov for opfølgning på:<br><br>- xxxx<br>- xxxx<br>- xxxx<br><br>Jeg vil gerne have en tilbagemelding, når du har set på ovenstående.<br/><br/>Venlig hilsen<br/>[behandler_navn]<br/>TestGuy<br/><br/>[lokal_tlf] – lokal<br>00 00 00 00 – telefon<br>[behandler_email]<br><br>This S<br>Something<br>Transformer 1234<br>3434 BubbleJ<br><br>​​​​

So i have following code when sending a mail, where it’s important to notice that i use html_entity_decode:

    $config['mailtype'] = 'html';
    $config['priority'] = 1;
    $config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
    $this->email->initialize($config);
    $this->email->from($this->auth_data->user_email, $this->auth_data->user_firstname . ' ' . $this->auth_data->user_lastname);
    $this->email->reply_to($this->auth_data->user_email, $this->auth_data->user_firstname . ' ' . $this->auth_data->user_lastname);
    $this->email->to('[e-mail]'); 
    $this->email->subject($feedback_title_temp);
    $this->email->message(html_entity_decode($feedback_temp));  
    $this->email->send();

When i receive the email it inserts the symbol = random places and in some cases the <br> does not even occur.

For example:

- xxxx<=r>- xxxx

Should be:

- xxxx
- xxxx

When i view the email on my smartphone, the encoding problem only seems to occur with the æåø chars while Outlook is a completely different story.
