Perhaps you can post snippet of your mailer view and snippet of the output you are getting.

You didn't show the output. Anyway, my guess is - you should have email_contents.email_root_password.html_safe instead of at the end of the method.

[Loganathan Sellapa]

This is the output of the email, and FYI html_safe is at the email_contents.email_root_password.html_safe only

Output:

Your new cell has been created!

You can access it using the following credentials:
IP Address: 64.22.114.187
Username: root 
Password: 

You can change your password or add your SSH key(s) be editing the cell details here: http://localhost.com/cells/649

​Where 

password value is <r0#42!c6$qU​

Sorry, I misunderstood your code earlier. Change the above line to:

t("email_contents.email_root_password",  ip_address: @vm["ip_addresses"][0]["ip_address"]["address"], password: @vm['initial_root_password'].html_safe, cell_access_link: cell_url(@vm['id']))

Note that you want to the password string to be tagged as html_safe.

[Loganathan Sellapa]

I have already tried it, no luck

Is your problem that password is not printed in the output email when it has a "<" in it ?

Then, you can try:

t("email_contents.email_root_password",  ip_address: @vm["ip_addresses"][0]["ip_address"]["address"], password: h(@vm['initial_root_password']), cell_access_link: cell_url(@vm['id'])).html_safe

Amit, 

Please read my previous emails, I've tried all the methods h, raw & html_safe. I root cause of the issue is with I18n + html escape,  not with the mailer view. I am still figuring out the way to fix the issue in i18n, if you have any idea about it please let me know

Hi,

Sometimes its the issue with encoding. I used https://github.com/brianmario/charlock_holmes gem in the past while parsing incoming emails, which was effective. I don't know if its relevant here but may be worth a try.
