All,  
I am trying to get emails and html template.  
I get a message saying var are added in the replaced body text.  
Any idea of where that come from?

- name: delete temp dir  
local\_action: file path=./tmp state=absent

- name: template create dir  
local\_action: file path=./tmp state=directory

- name: template email  
local\_action: template src=…/files/email\_template.j2 dest=./tmp/email.txt

- name: send email  
local\_action: mail  
host=‘[smtp3.hp.com](http://smtp3.hp.com)’  
port=25  
subject=“EGIT IIB ENVIRONMENT SETUP”  
from=“email”  
body=“{{ lookup(‘file’, ‘./tmp/email.txt’) }}”  
to=“email”  
headers=“Content-type=text/html”  
when: (managed\_server\_name == “AdminServer”)

The template is a HTML file.
