Plain text and html not getting along in net.mail.message

Howdy all.
Am using visual web developer 2005 (vb), xp pro sp2.
In testing of the system.net.mail to send email from an aspx page where
I'm pulling the email contents from a textbox, find that if I mix plain
text with html formatted text and set the isBodyHTML = true that I get
a continuous line of plain text without carriage returns and proper
HTML. I've a checkbox that if checked sets the IsBodyHTML=true.
email result:
nothing came through last time becuase txtbody was not assigned to
mailmessage body Testing change that allows html if checkbox checked
for it. Keep the carriage return? So them will this format correctly?
If not, will I need to use bodyencoding ut8? Or what? Then also send as
body is html to see difference? Maybe add a checkbox to use html...
"Element 'Import' is missing the '>' character from its start tag"
Done! <-- Done was centered and bolded in the email test.
**************************************
But if I send it as isBodyHTTML=false then I get carriage returns and
html tages displayed:
email result:
will it fail
Testing change to code that body is NOT HTML.
So them will this format correctly?
If not, will I need to use bodyencoding ut8?
Or what?
Then also send as body is html to see difference?
Maybe add a checkbox to use html...
"Element 'Import' is missing the '>' character from its start tag"
<p align=center>
<em><strong>Done!</strong></em>
</p>
***************************************
What I'd like is to understand whether I can mix the two - plain text
w/carriage returns & HTML - or whether I can have either one or the
other and not both without using alternativeview which I haven't yet
used but don't think its useful as I'm pulling the text from a textbox.
Appreciate any suggestion/comments.
Thank you,
Rey
