How do I send an HTML email? I use the code in this answer to send emails with SmtpClient, but they're always plain text, so the link in the example message below is not formatted as such.

How do I enable HTML in the e-mail messages I send?
This is what I do:
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, message);
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("localhost");
client.Send(mail);
Note that I set the mail message html to true: mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
MailMessage and SmtpClient implement IDisposable, and need to be disposed accordingly.
I believe it was something like:
mailObject.IsBodyHtml = true;
IsBodyHtml = true is undoubtedly the most important part.
But if you want to provide an email with both a text/plain part and a text/html part composed as alternates, it is also possible using the AlternateView class:
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
AlternateView plainView = AlternateView
.CreateAlternateViewFromString("Some plaintext", Encoding.UTF8, "text/plain");
// We have something to show in real old mail clients.
msg.AlternateViews.Add(plainView);
string htmlText = "The <b>fancy</b> part.";
AlternateView htmlView =
AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(htmlText, Encoding.UTF8, "text/html");
msg.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView); // And a html attachment to make sure.
msg.Body = htmlText; // But the basis is the html body
msg.IsBodyHtml = true; // But the basis is the html body
AlternateView for htmlView really necessary? Because you already set the body to be htmlText. Isn't it redundant to set it again as alternate view?
Apply the correct encoding of the Mailbody.
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
i have an idea , you can add a check box to your project for sending email as html as an option for user , and add this code to enable it :
MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, message);
if(checkBox1.CheckState == CheckState.Checked )
{
mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
}
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("localhost");
client.Send(mail);
If you are using Mailkit,We can use TextBody,HtmlBody and Both for message body. Just write this code. It will help you
MimeMessage mailMessage = new MimeMessage();
mailMessage.From.Add(new MailboxAddress(senderName, [email protected]));
mailMessage.Sender = new MailboxAddress(senderName, [email protected]);
mailMessage.To.Add(new MailboxAddress(emailid, emailid));
mailMessage.Subject = subject;
mailMessage.ReplyTo.Add(new MailboxAddress(replyToAddress));
mailMessage.Subject = subject;
var builder = new BodyBuilder();
builder.HtmlBody = "Hello There";
mailMessage.Body = builder.ToMessageBody();
try
{
using (var smtpClient = new SmtpClient())
{
smtpClient.Connect("HostName", "Port", MailKit.Security.SecureSocketOptions.None);
smtpClient.Authenticate("[email protected]", "password");
smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
Console.WriteLine("Success");
}
}
catch (SmtpCommandException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
builder.HtmlBody = "Hello There"; builder variable is not used at all.
