Cron Email as CONTENT_TYPE text/html; charset=utf-8

Hello, Currently I have several Cron jobs that are being run on my server, they were set up via the cPanel interface, Cron Jobs page. All emails are being sent as: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 What is the best way to send all cron email (or a specific cron job's emails) as HTML format? I did some research, and found that this line: CONTENT_TYPE="text/html; charset=utf-8" Can be added to: "/etc/crontab" or "crontab -e" Which is supposed to resolve the issue. I've tried both options, but no changes are being made to my cron emails. The source still shows "text/plain". Can someone please suggest the best way to go about doing this on a cPanel/WHM server? Should I revert the changes I did to crontab? Did I need to reboot my server or apache for changes to take effect? Thanks, Andrew

  Hello Andrew, Are you logged in via SSH as the account username when using the "crontab -e" command? If not, ensure to login as the account username when using that command. Or, simply edit the user's crontab file directly at the /var/spool/cron/username location. Thank you.

  Hello @cPanelMichael, Thanks very much for the guidance. I was logged in as root while running the "crontab -e" command. I edited the file at the "/var/spool/cron/username" location, and this worked right away. Cron emails are being sent in HTML format. Thanks again! Andrew
