How to send mail in HTML format in Rails 2.3.11?

I've only found solutions that work in Rails 3, so far. How can I force emails sent with ActionMailer to be formatted as HTML, rather than plaintext?

/app/models/franklin.rb (the mailer)

class Franklin < ActionMailer::Base
  def activation(user)
    recipients      user.email
    from            "[email protected]"
    content_type    = "text/html"
    subject         "OnCampus @ RIT Registration"
    body            :user => user
  end
end

/app/views/franklin/activation.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
  </head>
  <body>

Hi <%= @user.full_name %>,

This is your activation email for OnCampus @ RIT.  All you have to do is click the link below, and you'll be able to log in.

<%= link_to "Activate My Account!", "http://rit.oncampusapp.net/admin/activate?key=#{@user.activation_key}"%>

We hope to see you soon! :D

Just paste this in your notifier/mailer model method - this will solve your problem

content_type  "text/html"

Have you tried setting in the activation action content_type "text/html" instead of content_type = "text/html"
