MailMessage.Headers and Content-TypeThe following code has been used: string subject = "Calendar test 3"; MailMessage emailMessage = new MailMessage(); emailMessage.To = <address> emailMessage.Subject = "my subject"; emailMessage.Headers.Add("Content-Type","text/calendar;method=\"REQUEST\""); emailMessage.Body=@"BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//ACME/DesktopCalendar//EN METHOD:REQUEST VERSION:2.0....<the rest of iCalendar> "; MailService.Send(emailMessage); Even though the content-type was specified in Headers collection the resulting message still contains "text/plain" content-type. Please help. Vlad You probably need to set the BodyFormat property on your MailMessage
object to get the content-type to what you want. Example: MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); mail.To = <address> mail.From = <address> mail.Subject = emailSubject; mail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html; Hope that helps http://www.harleyc.com Vlad wrote: Show quote > We are trying to set MailMessage Content-Type to be text/calendar > The following code has been used: > string subject = "Calendar test 3"; > MailMessage emailMessage = new MailMessage(); > emailMessage.To = <address> > emailMessage.Subject = "my subject"; > emailMessage.Headers.Add("Content-Type","text/calendar;method=\"REQUEST\""); > emailMessage.Body=@"BEGIN:VCALENDAR > PRODID:-//ACME/DesktopCalendar//EN > METHOD:REQUEST > VERSION:2.0....<the rest of iCalendar> > "; > MailService.Send(emailMessage); > > Even though the content-type was specified in Headers collection the > resulting message still contains "text/plain" content-type. > > Please help. > > Vlad I dont think it has anything to do with HTML/Plain text. Content-type is
email header--not HTTP header. I tried it anyways just to be safe and got the same results - plain text. Still need MSFT help with this! <guidomuf***@hotmail.com> wrote in message Show quote news:1145909503.988524.208540@i39g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > You probably need to set the BodyFormat property on your MailMessage > object to get the content-type to what you want. > > Example: > > MailMessage mail = new MailMessage(); > mail.To = <address> > mail.From = <address> > mail.Subject = emailSubject; > mail.BodyFormat = System.Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html; > > Hope that helps > > http://www.harleyc.com > > > Vlad wrote: >> We are trying to set MailMessage Content-Type to be text/calendar >> The following code has been used: >> string subject = "Calendar test 3"; >> MailMessage emailMessage = new MailMessage(); >> emailMessage.To = <address> >> emailMessage.Subject = "my subject"; >> emailMessage.Headers.Add("Content-Type","text/calendar;method=\"REQUEST\""); >> emailMessage.Body=@"BEGIN:VCALENDAR >> PRODID:-//ACME/DesktopCalendar//EN >> METHOD:REQUEST >> VERSION:2.0....<the rest of iCalendar> >> "; >> MailService.Send(emailMessage); >> >> Even though the content-type was specified in Headers collection the >> resulting message still contains "text/plain" content-type. >> >> Please help. >> >> Vlad > I believe that if the email reader does not support the "text/calendar"

If you have a web access email account, you might try sending an email to that account and view it in something like FireFox which supports "text/calendar". -- Show quoteChristopher A.

We tried it with a
custom third-party component that sets the header fine. However when we did it through .NET native component it didn't work. -- Show quoteVlad P.S.
