I've been struggling with this one. No matter what I do, I cannot get new lines, empty lines, or line returns to show up in any email message I generate with CodeIgniter (v 2.1.3).
Within my Controller function:
$message = "Line one.
" .
"Line two.
" .
"Line three.
";
$subject = "My Subject Line";
$this->load->library('email');
$config['newline'] = "
"; // does not matter when I leave this out
$config['crlf'] = "
"; // does not matter when I leave this out
$this->email->initialize($config);
$this->email->from('system@mydomain.com', 'my system');
$this->email->to('me@gmail.com');
$this->email->subject($subject);
$this->email->message($message);
$this->email->send();
echo $this->email->print_debugger();
I've changed no settings or defaults, other than what I've shown above.
The "source" of the message looks just like this print_debugger()
output...
User-Agent: CodeIgniter

From: "my system"
Return-Path:
Reply-To: "system@mydomain.com"
X-Sender: system@mydomain.com
X-Mailer: CodeIgniter
X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
Message-ID: <xxxxxx@mydomain.com>
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_ALT_514f74472bd26"
=?utf-8?Q?My_Subject_Line?=
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
Your email application may not support this format.
--B_ALT_514f74472bd26
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Line one.
Line two.
Line three.
--B_ALT_514f74472bd26
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Line one.
Line two.
Line three.
--B_ALT_514f74472bd26--
HOWEVER, the problem is that the actual message is rendering in all email clients as the following.
Line one.Line two.Line three.
Why are my "
"
being ignored?
This is a very simple message and I'd prefer to not have to use any html
options. As per CI documentation, the mailtype
preference should be defaulting to text
.
Where am I going wrong here?
