Setting body text to html in an email does not work

[Sicos1977]

I did change nothing that should break that. I'll try to look into it this evening. Do you have some example code that you did write to build the email message so that I have some test cases.

Hi, we generate html via openxml and inject it into the email body. Our prototype was working fine yesterday, but today we can see that the bodyhtml is set to html, however its always displaying whatever is set in bodytext.

If you run your sample, do you see html or text? I'll check again later, its shelved at the moment so I just need some time to do it.

If I run the sample I see an HTML body

I'll have a look at this today, I should add, has your nuget version number gone backward, i.e. from 2.1 to 2.0.2?

[HarbinderGill]

Firstly thank you for replying, and thank you for your time and effort in creating a really decent free component.

version 2.0.2 (again as per my last comment the version number in nuget went backwards):

source code - note that both bodytext and bodyhtml are set:

On rendering the msg:

[HarbinderGill]

I'll do the same test on 2.1.0 (the version in which appointments don't work):

Exactly the same code

Works as expected.

I'd suggest trying the nuget v2.0.2 rather than local source code just in case there is a mismatch.

Uhm... let me try your code... and see what that does do

That is a typo... it should have been 2.2.0 ... :-) I'll fix it when I find out why the code doesn't work in your case.

[Sicos1977]

I just made this and that seems to work as expected... it's almost the same as your code.

[HarbinderGill]

Is that version pulled from nuget? I'll uninstall the package and try again.

[Sicos1977]

I figured it out... it seems to go wrong when you set draft to true ... setting it to false fixes the issue... I now have to figure out why the code does this... I had the same problem in the past and fixed it but for some reason I got that problem back again.

[HarbinderGill]

ah perfect thank you for your efforts in tracking this down. I was going to just suggest draft mode.

[Sicos1977]

I'll have to check the code if I somehow did revert something back to an older version.

[Sicos1977]

If I remember it correctly you have to set an RTF body with the HTML encapsulated into it to fix the problem where you get text when you set the e-mail to draft. An Outlook MSG is a complex format with all kind of properties that you have to set in the correct order to make everything work.

[Sicos1977]

Adding this to the code fixes the issue with the e-mail set to draft.

This commit fixes the issue 8b3d815

I also just released a new nuget package (2.3.0) with this fix in it. Give it 30 minutes to get indexed on nuget.
