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

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:

Should this be changed?
