Hi
I'm having a small problem with a vb.net application (Visual Studio
2005)

I'm trying to insert the contents of a Richtextbox.text into the body
of an email.
It all works fine, except when I open the email, all the carriage
returns and linefeeds are stripped out and all the text appears on one
line.

I'd appreciate some suggestions on how I can resolve this.


thanks in advance
Paul.

Assuming you are displaying the email body as html (IsBodyHtml = true)
you would need to replace each crlf with "<br />" to get the
appropriate line breaks. You could probably do that with a simple
Replace(...), or you could loop through the Lines property of the rich
text box. I also think you would have to replace all the different
fonts and colors with <span style="color: MyColor; font-name:
MyFont;"> tags to get that special formatting. I believe I have seen
several rtf to html converters on codeproject.com - so you might look
there if you don't want to roll out an entire solution on your own.

Hi,


Simple example for sending email with HTML body.

String strHTMLBody;

strHTMLBody = "<html><head><title>Confirm your News letter.</title></
head><body>Congratulations ! You have successfully completed
registration. Now you need to confirm your registration. Please do
confirm your registration by clicking on the link :From the team at
JobsKen. Regards</body></html> ";

MailMessage oMessage = new MailMessage();
oMessage.Subject = "Confirm your News letter";
oMessage.Body = strHTMLBody;
oMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
oMessage.From = new MailAddress("(e-mail address removed)");
oMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress(lblContents.Text));
oMessage.Priority = MailPriority.High;

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("XXXXX.XXX.com");
client.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
client.Send(oMessage);

Hope this helps.
