Re: Create an html e-mail using asp.net

The problem is your are sending the entire message as a single line and that
lines length is over the supported length of the server. You can either
break your lines manually using VBCRLF or you can use a 3rd party product
that will do it for you.

You could use the http://www.freesmtp.net component. Just turn on
quoted-printable encoding and it will wrap the lines for you.

i.e.

strMessage.Appe nd("<html>" & vbcrlf)
strMessage.Appe nd("<body>" & vbcrlf)

76 characters per line is a safe length to send at because that number is
supported by all servers.
