[thelist] Help Finding an HTML Email View in a CakePHP Application

We have inherited a CakePHP application that sends a formatted HTML
email when someone completes the site's registration process. The
method that invokes the email is:

$this->Invoice->send($districtInfo['District']['invoiceEmail'], 'PO
Order', $insert_data)

The problem I'm having is that I cannot find the view for the HTML
formatting. If I look at the Invoice model, I cannot figure out where
the code (see below) calls the view. This does not seem to follow
anything that I see here:

http://book.cakephp.org/view/269/Sending-a-basic-message

============================================

	function send($email, $invoice_id, $insert_data)
	{
		if (! preg_match(VALID_EMAIL, $email)) {
			return false;
		}
		if (preg_match('/^[0-9]{1,10}$/', $invoice_id)) {
			$result = $this->find(('`Invoice`.`id` = ' . $invoice_id));
		} else {
			$result = $this->find(('`Invoice`.`name` = "' .
$this->mrClean->sql($invoice_id) . '"'));
		}
		if (empty($result)) {
			return false;
		}

		$tokens = array();
		$replacements = array();
		foreach ($insert_data as $key => $value) {
			$tokens[] = '%' . $key . '%';
			$replacements[] = $value;
		}
		$message = str_replace($tokens, $replacements, $result['Invoice']['invoice']);
		$headers =	'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
		'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
		'From: ' . $this->adminEmail . "\r\n" .
		'Reply-To: ' . $this->adminEmail . "\r\n" .
		'Bcc: ' . 'test at example.com' . "\r\n" .
		'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
		if (mail($email, $result['Invoice']['name'], $message, $headers,
('-f' . $this->adminEmail)) &&
		mail($this->adminEmail, $result['Invoice']['name'], $message,
$headers, ('-f' . $this->adminEmail))) {
			return true;
		} else {
			return false;
		}
	}
