Sorry. I thought you were professional. If you looked at the templates edit panel you send me to there is not a header at all. so i assumed that header is generated somewhere else. that was my question. i can find it myself. i thought that someone that wrote that code could help.

We add ONLY html tag if not exist.
Then if it's exist : we don't update anything …

Denis. please. in email template editor one can only edit the text that is included in the email - Invitation email body. there is not a possibility to add, delete, or do whatever I want to do with the rest of the email code - it is being generated somewhere else. So, my question is - where the email is being generated when I press the send invitation button? i mean - what is the file (or files) responsible for that?

so, here the function to send mail:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...mon_helper.php#L2199

As you can see here:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...lper.php#L2310-L2314
Code:
if ($ishtml) {
        $mail->IsHTML(true);
        if (strpos($body, "<html>") === false) {
            $body = "<html>".$body."</html>";
        }

If HTML mail is enable, and if the source code of the mail does not contain the string "<html>", then the function add it.

thanks. so back to my initial question:
How to add to the HTML head this:
1. <!DOCTYPE> should be the first element seen
2. the <head> tag must contain a title

If your mail body contains the string "<html>" then the function will not change it.
So, as I told you 2 messages up, use "show source" button, and add your header and code in the mail...

nope. my email does not contain nothing. i used limesurvey built - in invitation email with what i got that error.
so. if i added proper head to the "email body" as you named it in the template editor using code editor, there will not be another head generated by the built-in script?
if so, do you think that is the proper way of handling this?

You can provide a complete HTML page as email via the sourcemode of the editor.
As long as your HTML source contains the <HTML> tag, LimeSurvey will not add it's own stuff during generating emails.
You cannot edit the HTML stuff LimeSurvey generates, you can override it with your own html sourcecode.
