Hi,

I am trying to send a mail which has HTML tags as mail body and this is the function i have written .

C#

private void SendMail(string EmailIDs, string EmailSubject, string EmailBody)
       {
           string strSMTPServer = "Server Address";
           string strSMTPFrom = "Sender Address";

           MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(strSMTPFrom, EmailIDs);
           mailMessage.Subject = EmailSubject;
           mailMessage.Body = EmailBody;
           mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
           SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(strSMTPServer);
           smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
       }

This is not working as the body that contains HTML tags are shown as tags only.

So i tried like this also

C#

private void SendMail(string EmailIDs, string EmailSubject, string EmailBody)
       {
           string strSMTPServer = "Server Address";
           string strSMTPFrom = "Sender Address";
           MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage(strSMTPFrom, EmailIDs);
           mailMessage.Subject = EmailSubject;
           mailMessage.Body = EmailBody;
           mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
           AlternateView av = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(EmailBody,      null, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html);
           mailMessage.AlternateViews.Add(av);

           SmtpClient smtpClient = new SmtpClient(strSMTPServer);
           smtpClient.Send(mailMessage);
       }

And this too is not working.

Does the html support depends on anyother factors? Can anyone please help me out

Can you post a sample message body? It will help identify the issue.

I have an impression that you send correct mail (if HTML body is correct), but your client is not showing it.
Or, by some reason, you put the body with escaped HTML markup.

MailMessage mail = new MailMessage();
SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient();
SmtpServer.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
SmtpServer.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(NOTIFICATION_MAIL, MAIL_PASSWORD);
SmtpServer.Port = 587;
SmtpServer.EnableSsl = true;
SmtpServer.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
mail.From = new MailAddress(NOTIFICATION_MAIL);
mail.To.Add(ToADDRESS_MAIL);
mail.Subject = mailSubject;
mail.Body = messageBody;
SmtpServer.Send(mail);
