If you are using HTMLFormat you need to supply HTML format, you know, like in a webpage.

Then you'll need to come up with a parsing engine to format the input appropriately.

string msgBody = string.Format(@"Hi,

This is the format of Username and Password

UserName : {0}
Password : {1}
",yourUserNameVariable, yourPasswordVariable);

If you are saying the users can change the entire message (probably a bad idea) then you need to come up with some formatting engine somewhat like these forums where you can insert certain codes to get smileys or other formatting things.

You may have tried this, but did you include some HTML tags in your code as well? Because just saying it should be HTML doesn't make it HTML in a flash, you'll need to code your text in HTML. IE: Let's say you username variable is a string _username, and you password is a string _password. Then try the following (in asp.net/c#): On top of your page:

using System.Net.Mail

then in your SendMail method:

private void SendMail(string _username, string _password)
{
string MailBody = "Hi,

This is the format of Username and Password

UserName : " + _username + "
";
MailBody += "Password : " + _password + "

Regards,";
MailMessage MMsg = new MailMessage();
MMsg.From = new MailAddress("youmailadress@youmailprovider.com");
MMsg.To.Add(new MailAddress("therecievingadress@therecievingdomain.com"));
MMsg.Subject = "Your subject";
MMsg.IsBodyHtml = true; //This is what makes your e-mail HTML formatted.
MMsg.Body = MailBody; //The content of your e-mail
SmtpClient SMTPSender = new SmtpClient();
SMTPSender.Host = "your mailhost"; //this is often "localhost"
SMTPSender.Send(MMsg);
}

Hope this helps.
