How can I send a HTML email?
Question
I am trying to send an email with HTML content. But Drupal is always scrapping my HTML tags.
I see drupal formatting the message in this function:
//Class: \Drupal\Core\Mail\MailManager
// Format the message body.
//$message = $system->format($message);
public function doMail($module, $key, $to, $langcode, $params = [], $reply = NULL, $send = TRUE) {
$site_config = $this->configFactory->get('system.site');
$site_mail = $site_config->get('mail');
if (empty($site_mail)) {
$site_mail = ini_get('sendmail_from');
}
// Bundle up the variables into a structured array for altering.
$message = [
'id' => $module . '_' . $key,
'module' => $module,
'key' => $key,
'to' => $to,
'from' => $site_mail,
'reply-to' => $reply,
'langcode' => $langcode,
'params' => $params,
'send' => TRUE,
'subject' => '',
'body' => [],
];
// Build the default headers.
$headers = [
'MIME-Version' => '1.0',
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed; delsp=yes',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding' => '8Bit',
'X-Mailer' => 'Drupal',
];
// To prevent email from looking like spam, the addresses in the Sender and
// Return-Path headers should have a domain authorized to use the
// originating SMTP server.
$headers['Sender'] = $headers['Return-Path'] = $site_mail;
// Make sure the site-name is a RFC-2822 compliant 'display-name'.
$headers['From'] = MailHelper::formatDisplayName($site_config->get('name')) . ' <' . $site_mail . '>';
if ($reply) {
$headers['Reply-to'] = $reply;
}
$message['headers'] = $headers;
// Build the email (get subject and body, allow additional headers) by
// invoking hook_mail() on this module. We cannot use
// moduleHandler()->invoke() as we need to have $message by reference in
// hook_mail().
if (function_exists($function = $module . '_mail')) {
$function($key, $message, $params);
}
// Invoke hook_mail_alter() to allow all modules to alter the resulting
// email.
$this->moduleHandler->alter('mail', $message);
// Retrieve the responsible implementation for this message.
$system = $this->getInstance(['module' => $module, 'key' => $key]);
// Attempt to convert relative URLs to absolute.
foreach ($message['body'] as &$body_part) {
if ($body_part instanceof MarkupInterface) {
$body_part = Markup::create(Html::transformRootRelativeUrlsToAbsolute((string) $body_part, \Drupal::request()->getSchemeAndHttpHost()));
}
}
// Format the message body.
$message = $system->format($message);
// Optionally send email.
if ($send) {
// The original caller requested sending. Sending was canceled by one or
// more hook_mail_alter() implementations. We set 'result' to NULL,
// because FALSE indicates an error in sending.
if (empty($message['send'])) {
$message['result'] = NULL;
}
// Sending was originally requested and was not canceled.
else {
// Ensure that subject is plain text. By default translated and
// formatted strings are prepared for the HTML context and email
// subjects are plain strings.
if ($message['subject']) {
$message['subject'] = PlainTextOutput::renderFromHtml($message['subject']);
}
$message['result'] = $system->mail($message);
// Log errors.
if (!$message['result']) {
$this->loggerFactory->get('mail')
->error('Error sending email (from %from to %to with reply-to %reply).', [
'%from' => $message['from'],
'%to' => $message['to'],
'%reply' => $message['reply-to'] ? $message['reply-to'] : $this->t('not set'),
]);
$error_message = $params['_error_message'] ?? $this->t('Unable to send email. Contact the site administrator if the problem persists.');
if ($error_message) {
$this->messenger()->addError($error_message);
}
}
}
}
return $message;
}
How do I avoid this? I do not want Drupal formatting the content.
My headers:
$headers = [
'MIME-Version' => '1.0',
'Content-Type' => 'text/html; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed',
'Content-Transfer-Encoding' => '8Bit',
'X-Mailer' => 'Drupal',
];
Solution
Use the Mime Mail module
The Mime Mail module gives Drupal core and other Drupal modules the ability to send HTML email messages. This is an all-Drupal solution that does not require external third-party libraries.
