I dont know if its ok to ask this question here. I couldnt find a way to comment on that forum so please suffer me for this once.

I followed a tutorial here http://www.fairnet.com/post/2010/01/27/Email-Template-using-C.aspx[^] about email templates.

However, when i send the email, it doesnt seem to respect the HTML formats in the XML template.

I sent the email to yahoo and gmail. Both deliver without respecting the HTML tags in the XML template. And I did set IsBodyHtml to true. Is there something else i need to do that I am not doing?

Thank you in advance.

You need to set the BodyFormat to HTML

Thanks luisnike19. But that is for System.Web.Mail. I am using System.Net.Mail and I did set IsBodyHtml to true, the equivalent of MyMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html as used in System.Web.Mail
