  can't formate table data in my mail

  Feb 23, 2013 02:11 PM|LINK

  Hi all,

  I have problem with presenting data on my email.

  Here is my code:

  if (IsPostBack)
          {
              SmtpClient sc = new SmtpClient("mail.xxxx.com");
              System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
              MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
  
  
              msg.IsBodyHtml = true;

              sb.Append("\n");
              sb.Append("PERSONAL DETAILS: \n");
              sb.Append("-------------------------------------------------- \n");
              sb.Append("<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">");
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Title:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", title_1.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Family name:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", surname.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Forename:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", forename.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Gender:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", gender.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Date Of Birth:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", dob.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Country:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", Country.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Home Telephone:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", telephon.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Mobile:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", mobile.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>E-Mail:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", email.Text.Trim());
              sb.AppendFormat("<tr><td>Fax No:</td><td>{0}</td></tr>", fax.Text.Trim());
              sb.Append("</table>");
  
                    
   
  
              try
              {
                  msg = new MailMessage(email.Text,
                      "info@enuktranslation.co.uk", "EDUCATION PLACE REQUEST",
                      sb.ToString());
  
                  sc.Send(msg);
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
  
                  // something bad happened
                  Response.Write("Something bad happened!");
  
              }
  
              finally
              {
  
                  if (msg != null)
                  {
                      msg.Dispose();
                  }
  
              }

  Here is mail message:

  PERSONAL DETAILS:
  --------------------------------------------------
  <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Title:</td><td>MS</td></tr><tr><td>Family name:</td><td>As</td></tr><tr><td>Forename:</td><td>Forename</td></tr><tr><td>Gender:</td><td>Male</td></tr><tr><td>Date Of Birth:</td><td>klkj</td></tr><tr><td>Country:</td><td>BH</td></tr><tr><td>Home Telephone:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Mobile:</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>E-Mail:</td><td>kj@ww.ww</td></tr><tr><td>Fax No:</td><td></td></tr></table>

  Did you set the MailMessage's IsBodyHTML property to true? If not then it will be sent plain text. Try msg.IsBodyHTML = true;

  Don't forget to mark useful responses as Answer if they helped you towards a solution.

  Hi,

  Please refer to the code as follow:

  string emaildress1, emaildress2;
              string body = "";
              emaildress1 = "test1@live.com";
              emaildress2 = "test2@live.com";
              SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
  
              client.Host = "smtp.qq.com";
              client.Port = 25;
  
              client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(
                 @"send@live.com",
                 @"********");
             // client.EnableSsl = true;
  
              // create message
              MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
              message.From = new MailAddress("405486561@qq.com");
              message.To.Add(emaildress1);
              message.To.Add(emaildress2);
  
              body = "<table border='1'>";
              body += "<tr><td>a</td></tr>";
              body += "<tr><td>b</td></tr>";
              body += "<tr><td>c</td></tr>";
              body += "<tr><td>d</td></tr>";
              body += "<tr><td>e</td></tr>";
              body += "<tr><td>f</td></tr>";
              body += "<tr><td>g</td></tr>";
              body += "</table>";
              message.Body = body;
              message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
              message.IsBodyHtml = true;
              message.Subject = "title";
              message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
  
              // send message
              try
              {
                  client.Send(message);
              }
              catch (SmtpException ex)
              {
                  ht["error"] = ex.ToString();
              }
              finally
              {
                  message.Dispose();
              }

  Hi please use method for sending mail like that, and make sure that your mail bodyformt should be MailFormat.Html.

  and use Append instead of using AppendFormat

   public string Send_mail(string fromAddress, string toAddress, string Subject, string text)
          {
              string SERVER = "your smtp dserver name";
              MailMessage ms = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();
              ms.To = toAddress;
              ms.From = fromAddress;
              ms.Subject = Subject;
              ms.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
              ms.Priority = MailPriority.High;
              ms.Body = text;
              SmtpMail.SmtpServer = SERVER;
              try
              {
                  SmtpMail.Send(ms);
                  ms = null;
  
                  return "Sent";
              }
              catch
              {
                  ms = null;
                  return "failed";
              }
          }
