How to make the html visible to email clients?
-
I am working on a tool that generats html code and sends it to any given email(s). The problem is when the html is sent, it just shows the source code in the email instead of the actual html visuals, formatting, etc. How can I make email clients display the html properly? i.e. is there some kind of property to add to the html code that will show it in emails, like
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=unicode" ShowInEmail="true"> -

It depends how your sending it. With the standard
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClientyou can send aSystem.Net.Mail.MailMessagesetting its properties and settingIsBodyHtmlto true.Using the wrong tool for the job is half the fun.
