Can't send mail in codeigniter

Question

I'm using the following code for sending mail in codeigniter

$this->load->library('email');
$this->email->set_mailtype('html');
$this->email->from('test@example.com', 'Your Name');
$this->email->to('test2@example.com'); 

$this->email->subject('Email Test');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');  

$this->email->send();

echo $this->email->print_debugger();

Here I'm getting the error as

Unable to send email using PHP mail(). Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.

But if the mail type is change to text, ie

$this->email->set_mailtype('text');

It works fine.Why is it so ?

This seems like a problem with your email client rather than Codeigniter. What client are you using? What's your stack? — elclanrs, May 07 '13 at 09:31

$config['charset'] = 'utf-8';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
$this->email->initialize($config);

Try this.

Need an email.php file.

$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;
