send an HTML formatted email using MFMailComposeViewController

Question

I am formatting a mail with HTML content and sending it using MFMailComposeViewController.But on the receiver side mail is not reaching in HTML format.Only Plain text is vis

Answer 1

Be sure to set the message body using the following lines:

MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
NSString *emailBody = @"<p><b>Hello World</b></p>";                         
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:YES];

Answer 2

Even if you set isHTML param to YES, your message body can be sent as plain/text if the message body can be represented as such.

In my case adding a link in the message body helped. Bold formatting with tags works too. Tricky!
