Hi,

I have an automatic windows service to send out the emails as scheduled. But the email message i have been receiving is appearing in plain text instead of HTML format. Can someone throw me few tips or ideas where i am making a mistake.

thanks

Thanks for all your responses. But unfortunately i am not sure its still not working. Can you please go through the code below and let me know where i am doing wrong or if it needs any further modification.

private bool MailSend(bool SMS,string EmailFrom, string EmailTo, string EmailSubject, string EmailBody,ref Exception parmExc)
{
MailMessage msg=null;
try
{
msg = new MailMessage(EmailFrom, EmailTo, EmailSubject, EmailBody);
if (!SMS)
{
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
}
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("localhost");
client.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
msg.EmailBody = "http://localhost:3171/WebApplication1/frmResponse.aspx?TraxIterID="+ ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[3].ToString()"";
client.Send(msg);
if (DebugMailSending)
{
StringBuilder sbMailSendDebug = new StringBuilder();
sbMailSendDebug.AppendFormat("EMail Sent => From={0};To={1};Subject={2};Body={3}", EmailFrom, EmailTo, EmailSubject, EmailBody);
DebugMessage(sbMailSendDebug.ToString());
}
parmExc = null;
return true;
}
catch (Exception exc1)
{
parmExc = exc1;
return false;
}
finally
{
DisposeIfNotNull(msg);
}
} // end MailSend

hey you have to build HTML mail by setting the IsBodyHTML to true. Here you go:

public void sendmail(string v3, string v2, string v1) //replace the parameter or delete if needed
{
string smsg = "Thank you for posting Article on our site, your post is very important for us:

";
smsg += "
Title of Post:
" + "" + v2 + "";
smsg += "
Description of Post:
" + v3;
smsg += "

";
smsg += "Administrator";
//in above lines I'm building HTML body for mailing, here you can use any standerd html tags

MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
try
{
string ToEmailIDToSendEmail = getEmailAddressOfUser(); //i'm just receiving TO email address from SQL Server DB by calling function
message.To.Add(new MailAddress(ToEmailIDToSendEmail)); //here you can directly use the TO mail
message.From = new MailAddress("use the same address i.e. ur username that will be used below");

message.Subject = "your email subject will be here";
message.Body = smsg;
message.IsBodyHtml = true; //always set this to true for html based mail

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Port = 587; // I uses port 587 for gmail, replace this if you needed
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; //replace the host, i will be using gmail
System.Net.NetworkCredential nc = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("senderemailid or say user name", "password-of-mail-id");
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = nc;
client.Send(message);
}
catch
{
//do your catch job here;
}
}

Hope this helps.

Hi,
You can match your code from the below:
Look into Bold section.

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.To = "[email protected]"; mail.From = "[email protected]"; mail.Subject = "this is a test email."; mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html; mail.Body = "this is my test email body.
this part is in bold"; SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost";  //your real server goes here SmtpMail.Send( mail );

Did you used the mailformat option? mail format used class system

"System.Web.Mail.MailFormat"
Hope this will helpful for u. :)
