   I'm working on a plug in that uses the wp_mail function and need to send HTML e-mail (rather than plain text e-mail).

   The documentation on wp_mial in the Codex notes that you can use the

   wp_mail_content_type

   filter to send HTML email, but there is no information on how to do this.

   Can anybody provide sample code or outline how to use this filter?

   Thanks!

   Hi Guys

   There is the filter for content type though I have never got it to work or find anyone who has got it to work. Instead the the trick is to build a custom header with the MIME, Content Type. Below is an example.

   $headers= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
           "From: Me <dale.hurley@example.com>\n" .
           "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"" .
   get_option('blog_charset') . "\"\n";
   wp_mail($emailaddress, $subject, $content, $headers);

   I know this is a little late, but it could be useful

   before you send your wp_mail call add a filter to wp_mail_content_type

   add_filter('wp_mail_content_type','set_contenttype');

   then in your set_contenttype function have it return the appropriate content type, in this case 'text/html'

   function set_contenttype($content_type){
   return 'text/html';
   }

   works for me

   Same end-result, but less code:

   <?php 
   
   add_filter('wp_mail_content_type',create_function('', 'return "text/html"; '));
   
   wp_mail('whoever@whatever.com', 'Subject', 'Message');
   ?>
