trying to concatenate string for sending email

hi guys,

here is the string that i am sending in my mail body, when i get the email i do not get the link i want. Any ideas?

mail.Body = "You have been invited to a group <a href='http://localhost:1744/Register.aspx?GroupID=" + grpID + ">Invitation</a>";

use the content type as 'text/html'

Kamaraj Subramanian

Response.ContentType="text/plain";
Response.Write("This is text type");

Set MailFormat to a "1", which is HTML format. Then you can insert regular
HTML for formatting in your Body.
