Rails HTML Email Displays HTML code
I am working on html welcome email for new users, but it doesn't work. When I submit it, it displays the html code as text, as opposed to displaying the actual html. I made the html of my template starting from a template from Mailchimp, so I'm surprised it doesn't work. Also, when I send email with Putsmail.com and emailonacid.com, it looks ok.
However, during production, the email is sent and the html is displayed as text in the email, like this (from registration_confirmation.html.erb):

My mail:
def registration_confirmation(user)
@user = user
subject "Welcome #{@user.first_name}!"
from "info@foobar.com"
recipients @user.email
sent_on Time.now
end
Called from the user registration model:
Notifier.registration_confirmation(user).deliver

The content type seems to be missing:
def registration_confirmation(user)
@user = user
subject "Welcome #{@user.first_name}!"
from "info@foobar.com"
recipients @user.email
sent_on Time.now
# Set content-type header
content_type "text/html"
end
The default is used text/plain
, so you must explicitly specify it for HTML or multipage messages.
