Mail not appearing as HTML - Mail Adapter

Hello All,

I'm using the mail package in a receiver mail adapter. During mapping I format the content in HTML format, using &lt; &gt; form < and >. Also I set the content type of the mail package to text/html. However when the mail is received, the content of the mail is the html with tags, it does not appear as an html page. When I see the source the file still has the escape characters instead of < and >. But when I save this as an html file and open it, it appears as a web page.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Sandeep
