Copy RichTextBox -Texts & Table to Email Body ?

[Mahey]

Hi,

I want to paste Texts & Table from RichTextBox to Email Body.
Is it possible?

Dim mm As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(FrmMail, ToAddress)

blah...blah...blah...

richtextbox5.copy
mm.body=richtextbox5.paste ???????????

Suppose mm.body=richtextbox5.text is not displaying the table lines...

Any Ideas, Thanks

First, to get the richtext you would do

mm.body = richtextbox5.RTF

Second, that isn't going to work. Even though you can send a Richtext message in most mail programs to do it in VB.net it isn't as simple as just copying it to the message body. System.Net.Mail doesn't understand RichText and you can't make it understand RichText. The only solution I found was to convert the RichText into HTML which System.Net.Mail can understand. I started with this:

Actually that might be a little misleading. It would be better to say System.Net.Mail doesn't care what the text is but with the .IsHTML method it can tell any receiving program to read it correctly. If there is such a flag for RichText System.Net.Mail doesn't expose it.
