Possible email format problem in Chapter 20: Send Email - Create the Mailer View #83

In noticed a possible bug in Chapter 20: Send Email - Create the Mailer View

When implementing the app/views/user_mailer/contact_email.html.erb, we provide the DOCTYPE, head tags and body tags in the file.

However, when sending a test email, I first got a message within the email saying it could not be displayed because of the way it was formatted. Checking the console showed the email was given extra <html> and <body> tags on top of the ones that we already provided:

----==_mimepart_56fb928df1b01_cb43fd1e79cfc90908fe
Content-Type: text/html;
 charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<html>
  <body>
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Website Contact</h1>
    <p>
      This visitor requested contact:
    </p>
    <p>
      Felice<br/>
      example@gmail.com<br/>
    </p>
    <p>
      The visitor said:
    </p>
    <p>
      "Test email"
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

  </body>
</html>

It seems that the Mailer is already providing the Doctype, head tags, as well as <html> and <body> tags. I removed the extra tags in the user_mailer/contact_email.html.erb file and it displayed fine after that:

Also no extra tags in the console outputs:

----==_mimepart_56fb93f0326df_cb43fd1e56ab638910fd
Content-Type: text/html;
 charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Website Contact</h1>
<p>
  This visitor requested contact:
</p>
<p>
  Felice<br/>
  example@gmail.com<br/>
</p>
<p>
  The visitor said:
</p>
<p>
  "test 2
"
</p>

  </body>
</html>
