Remarks

This class allows the developer to tune how a new mail message will be generated from MailMessage properties and collections. This may include automatic creation of plain-text version of the HTML body, setting Date and MessageID values, and much more. A new mail message is a message created with MailBee.

To tune how an existing mail message should be being parsed, use MailMessage.Parser property. An existing mail message is a message received from another source (such as file, stream, mail server, etc).

A message can be both existing and new. For instance, if you have received a message from the mail server (this makes this message existing), modified it and are re-sending it again. This will produce a new message (although it's based on another existing message).

Note
MessageBuilderConfig object cannot be used on its own. To access its members, use MailMessage.Builder property.

Examples

The sample creates a new message, enables automatic creation of the plain-text version of the HTML body, and saves the message to disk.

Copy

// To use the code below, import MailBee namespaces at the top of your code.
using MailBee;
using MailBee.Mime;

// Create a new MailMessage object.
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

// Tell MailBee to create plain-text version of the HMTL body.
msg.Builder.HtmlToPlainMode = HtmlToPlainAutoConvert.IfNoPlain;

// Set the HTML body contents.
msg.BodyHtmlText = @"<html><b>Hello</b>, <i>World</i>!</html>";

// Save the message into a folder. The plain-text version will be
// created at this point along with generating MIME source of the message.
msg.SaveMessage(@"C:\Temp\TestMail.eml");

' To use the code below, import MailBee namespaces at the top of your code.
Imports MailBee
Imports MailBee.Mime

' Create a new MailMessage object.
Dim msg As New MailMessage

' Tell MailBee to create plain-text version of the HMTL body.
msg.Builder.HtmlToPlainMode = HtmlToPlainAutoConvert.IfNoPlain

' Set the HTML body contents.
msg.BodyHtmlText = "<html><b>Hello</b>, <i>World</i>!</html>"

' Save the message into a folder. The plain-text version will be
' created at this point along with generating MIME source of the message.
msg.SaveMessage("C:\Temp\TestMail.eml")
