Show item options in Cartthrob order email

Question

I'm trying to get Item Options to show in Cartthrob's order email. I'm using the code from the documentation but it doesn't seem to work;

{exp:cartthrob:order_items order_id="{entry_id}" }
    <tr class="{item:switch="odd|even"}">
        <td><span style="font-size:12px;">{item:entry_id}</span></td>
        <td><span style="font-size:12px;">
            {item:title}
                <p>
                    <span style="font-size:9px;">
                {item_options}
                     <strong>{option_label}</strong> {option_name}: {option_value}
                {/item_options}
                </span>
                </p>
            {if is_package}
                <p>
                    <span style="font-size:9px;">
                {packages}
                    {sub:title}<br /> 
                {/packages}
                </span>
                </p>
            {/if}
            </span></td>
        <td align="right"><span style="font-size:12px;">{item:quantity}</span></td>
        <td align="center">&nbsp;</td>
        <td align="right"><span style="font-size:12px;">{item:price}<br />(w/ tax: {item:price_plus_tax})</span></td>
        <td align="right">
            <span style="font-size:12px;">
                {item:subtotal}<br />(w/ tax: {item:subtotal_plus_tax})
            </span>
        </td>
        <td align="right">
            {if item:product_download_url}
            <span style="font-size:12px;"><a href="{exp:cartthrob:get_download_link field='product_download_url' entry_id='{item:entry_id}'}">Download</a></span>
            {/if}
        </td>
    </tr>
{/exp:cartthrob:order_items}

The item options are definitely captured because when I view the order entry it shows all the selected options.

Has anyone else had this trouble?

try to modify your template next way:

         {item_options}
             {if selected}<strong>{option_label}</strong> {option_name}: {option_value}{/if}
        {/item_options}
