# HTML E-Mail

To send an e-mail in HTML format, set the body using the method `setBodyHTML()` instead of `setBodyText()`. The MIME content type will automatically be set to `text/html` then. If you use both HTML and Text bodies, a multipart/alternative MIME message will automatically be generated:

## Sending HTML E-Mail

    $mail = new Zend_Mail();
    $mail->setBodyText('My Nice Test Text');
    $mail->setBodyHtml('My Nice <b>Test</b> Text');
    $mail->setFrom('somebody@example.com', 'Some Sender');
    $mail->addTo('somebody_else@example.com', 'Some Recipient');
    $mail->setSubject('TestSubject');
    $mail->send();
