elaborate 'not working' a little - you see raw html? escaped data? what exactly?

For HTML mails, consider adding plain text version, i.e.

PHP

$textBody = 'My text-only body....';

$mail->Body($htmlBody);
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->AltBody($textBody);

most likely it will solve your issue, as content/type will become multipart/alternative, and you will target wider amount of browsers.
