I created the new HTML mail template. I sent it for me, but the email likes as plan text. When I opened the source of mail, I saw this:

<div id=3D"example">Lorem ipsum</div>

This is the example code. I used the latest (292) OctoberCMS.

Is it core bug or something else? Please help me, because my client would like to send html emails.

There is two way to send mail : html & text. HTML is the rich editor, and text, the plain editor. Make sure to put a text if the mail client can't receive HTML format email. Image

The RED is for content editor, the blue for text, and the green for HTML.

If you put HTML directly into the rich editor, it will be displayed as text. You must click the GREEN button, and then put your HTML.

Also, <div id=3D"example">Lorem ipsum</div> is not a valid HTML. It should be <div id="3Dexample">Lorem ipsum</div>. The editor dosen't support custom divs. But the layout does.

The html layout of my e-mail is:

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css" media="screen">
            {{ css|raw }}
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
            <img src="https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/master/themes/demo/assets/images/october.png?raw=true" alt="">
        </header>
        <section>
            <h1>Title</h1>
            {{ content|raw }}
        </section>
        <footer>
            Lorem ipsun
        </footer>
    </body>
</html>

I sent the test e-mail to myself. In Thunderbird the source code of e-mail is:

<html>
    <head>
        <style type=3D"text/css" media=3D"screen">
=
            header {
    text-align: center;
    width: 400px;
}
section {
    padding: 20px;
    width: 400px;
}
footer {
    text-align: left;
    width: 400px;
}
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
      =
      <img src=3D"https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/master/themes/=
demo/assets/images/october.png?raw=3Dtrue" alt=3D"">
        </header>

        <section>

What code did you type into the actual template content in the backend? Where did you type it? Please post a screenshot of the template editor with the problematic template loaded.

I modified the settings of Thunderbird so the problem is solved. Thank you for your help.
