how can i make whole document with text,images and format of word document as email body.

I did this way, which gives only Text from word document and format is also changed.

C#

Word.Document wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Open(filename, ref oMissing, ref  oTrue, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
                    Word.Range range = wordDoc.Content;
                    range.Select();
                    string msg = range.Text;
                    message.IsBodyHtml = true;
                    message.Body = msg;
                    wordDoc.Close(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

Any idea to achieve this.Kindly suggest me.

hi ridoy, thanks for the reply.one of the link you provided http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/emailnet/Using+a+Microsoft+Word+Document+as+the+Message+Body+and+Sending+Email says it is possible to convert whole document as email body.but am implementing this logic in windows application where as they have used MailMesssage from system.web.Mail. Is it correct way of applying in windows application?

If you want to use system.web.Mail in windows application then you need to add reference from system.web probably.But you can try with System.Net.Mail for same work also.

I couldn't find MailMessage.Load() in System.Net.Mail.I will try with System.Web.Mail and let you know.

You can not make a word document email body. You have only 2+1 options:
- plain text
- html (restricted css, no javascript): http://www.thinksend.com/faq/design-restrictions[^]
- TNEF (this is used when you send RTF with Outlook and Exchange). This would be the nearest to what you desire, but be aware, that this is a really special one. Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Neutral_Encapsulation_Format[^]. I am not sure you will be able to use such format without having exchange server as backend.

As what you want to achieve is platform and vendor-specific, I suggest you forget this approach: create two bodies: plain text and simple html and simply add the word document as attachment.
