    {


    try


    {


    using (MailMessage mail = new MailMessage())
    {


    string msgBody="";
    string message = "";


    //Load the template page for the email template.


    BlogEngine.Core .Page page2 = BlogEngine.Core .Page.GetPage(n ew
    Guid(Session["Content"].ToString() ));


    //Take the link for the main content page and add it to the content.
    Use HTML breaks.


    msgBody = page2.AbsoluteL ink + "<br/>";msgBody += page2.Content +
    "<br/


    >";

    //Take the content for the email heading intro message. This is hard
    coded guid for the virtual page in the admin we created for sending
    the email

    BlogEngine.Core .Page page = BlogEngine.Core .Page.GetPage(n ew
    Guid("ff8f0685-9f6a-4758-855d-6018d9542963")) ;
    message = page.Content;


    // Add the 911 intro


    msgBody = message + "<br/>" + msgBody;
    //Email is from 911


    mail.From = new MailAddress(Blo gSettings.Insta nce.Email);


    //This should add fields from the form for the user's name and thier
    email


    MailAddress ma = new MailAddress(thi s.txtTo.Text,
    this.txtFriends Name.Text);
    mail.To.Add(ma) ;


    mail.Subject = page.Title;


    //page content includes html


    mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
    //mail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail .MailFormat.Htm l;


    // AlternateView PlainView =
    AlternateView.C reateAlternateV iewFromString(" This is my Plain text
    Content, Viewable by those client that dont support html", null,
    "text/
    Plain");


    //AlternateView htmlView =
    AlternateView.C reateAlternateV iewFromString(" <b>this is bold text,
    and
    Viewable by those client that support html </b>", null, "text/html");


    //mail.AlternateV iews.Add(PlainV iew);


    //mail.AlternateV iews.Add(htmlVi ew);


    mail.Body = msgBody;


    //mail.BodyEncodi ng = System.Text.Enc oding.UTF8;


    //mail.BodyEncodi ng.IsBrowserSav e = true;


    //mail.Body = msgBody;


    Utils.SendMailM essage(mail);



    }


    return true;


    }


    catch (Exception ex)
    {

    lblStatus.Text = ex.InnerExcepti on.Message;

      Re: Send email with html body using System.net.mail

      First, do NOT MULTIPOST.

      Etiquette is to CrossPost to one (or a few) germane newsgroups (The total #
      of newsgroups should be a frugal number)

      .......
      Now your issue.

      You can try getting the source code here:
      http://sholliday.space s.live.com/Blog/cns!A68482B9628 A842A!138.entry

      Download the example. I am able to send html email through that code.

      You should encapsulate your method better.
      You have Session data being pulled from within your method. 8<

      Go get the source code from my blog, and you will have an encapsulated
      method.
      Then use a different function to create the html you want to send.
      Then call the method.

      private string CreateHtml ( string absoluteLink , string msgBody )
      {
      return "<html><body>"+ "<h3>Hi :"+msgBody+" </h3>"+"<br/>You
      visited:"+absol uteLink +"</body></html>";
      }

      private void CollectInfoAndS endEmail()
      {

      string html = CreateHtml( " http: // www . yahoo .com " , "Billy" );
      SendEmailFramew ork_1_1( GetSettings() , "me@ toyou.com" , "Message From
      the System", html);

      }

      private EmailSmtpSettin gs GetSettings()
      {
      EmailSmtpSettin gs settings =
      ((EmailSmtpSett ings)System.Con figuration.Conf igurationSettin gs.GetConfig(CO NFIG_SECTION_NA ME));
      return settings;
      }




      //Change my methods signature:
      SendEmailFramew ork_1_1( SmtpServerSetti ngs serv , string toAddress , string
      subjectLine , string htmlBody )




      Encapsulate, and less-spaghetti'fy your code.




      Note: SmtpServerSetti ngs is my custom object available in the downloadable
      sourcecode.

          PS
          Utils.SendMailM essage(mail);

          That code isn't available, so we have no idea what is happening in its
          contents.
