title: Render html elements in email
body: <p>I'm trying to render html in an email and even after searching the web, I am still a little confused.. Basically I would like to have say a box(div) with a background color display in the email. I'm sending the email using the php mail() function and trying to set the message body to a string such as: <code>"&lt;div style='background:black;'&gt;Test&lt;/div&gt;"</code>, but instead of rendering the html, the email just displays the html text.. 
  Is there an easy way of <strong>rendering</strong> the html? Thanks for the help!</p>
