How to send HTML message via Mimekit/Mailkit

Question

BodyBuilder bodyBuilder = new BodyBuilder(); messageContent.Body = "<b>This is a test mail</b>"; bodyBuilder.HtmlBody = messageContent.Body; 

I tried to embed my body to a bodybuilder but when I received the email, it returned an empty body. I have an exception that would throw an argument if the body is empty..

Answer 1

Using a BodyBuilder like you are doing is probably the easiest way.

var bodyBuilder = new BodyBuilder(); bodyBuilder.HtmlBody = "<b>This is some html text</b>"; bodyBuilder.TextBody = "This is some plain text";  message.Body = bodyBuilder.ToMessageBody();  client.Send(message);

MimeKit Documentation - Creating Messages

var message = new MimeMessage();     message.Body = new TextPart ("html") { Text = "<b>Test Message</b>" }; 

"A TextPart is a leaf-node MIME part with a text media-type. The first argument to the TextPart constructor specifies the media-subtype: plain, html, enriched, rtf, and xml."
