Email send as HTML Format but received as text.

Dear Friends,

I am working on a Group discussion forum. The members are all registered members. On registration I send an email thanking for registration and a link to click and confirm their email id. This mail is send in html format but on testing with my gmail, hotmail, yahoo and rediffmail ids I found that the link is plain text and is not clickable.

using System.Web.Mail and not the lates System.Net.Mail.

Please advise.

Can you post the code you are using to send the message? Have you set the BodyFormat property of the MailMessage to MailFormat.Html?

hi

example :

using System;
using System.Web.Mail;

namespace WebMail
{
class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
MailMessage oMsg = new MailMessage();
// TODO: Replace with sender e-mail address.
oMsg.From = "sender@somewhere.com";
// TODO: Replace with recipient e-mail address.
oMsg.To = "recipient@somewhere.com";
oMsg.Subject = "Send Using Web Mail";

// SEND IN HTML FORMAT (comment this line to send plain text).

oMsg.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

// HTML Body (remove HTML tags for plain text).
oMsg.Body = "<HTML><BODY><B>Hello World!</B></BODY></HTML>";

// ADD AN ATTACHMENT.
// TODO: Replace with path to attachment.
String sFile = @"C:\temp\Hello.txt";
MailAttachment oAttch = new MailAttachment(sFile, MailEncoding.Base64);

oMsg.Attachments.Add(oAttch);

// TODO: Replace with the name of your remote SMTP server.
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "MySMTPServer";
SmtpMail.Send(oMsg);

oMsg = null;
oAttch = null;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} Exception caught.", e);
}
}
}
}
