 * Hello guys,
 * I am trying to send some HTML code through mail messages on Contact Form 7 in
   order to make a quote pulling the data from the user’s cart via WooCommerce shortcode
   and sending it on a hidden text field while the user fills up the form, I managed
   to do that after days of looking and experimenting, now, when the form is sent,
   I receive the HTML code with the information that I want but on my email I just
   see html code, I am able to translate that code by pasting it on a TXT and saving
   it as a *.htm file and I can see successfully the info that I want, but I want
   to see it on the email body since the users won’t be able to do this “translation”
   every time a quote is sent.
 * Things that I’ve tried so far:
    Adding basic HTML tags such as <html><head></
   head><body>my stuff…</body></html> and this make it even worse… I tried several
   mail clients also with the same result.
 * Things that I’ve found:

 * Any suggestions?

 * I solved this by installing WP HTML Mail.
