sending aspx as email

[Richard Loupatty]

To send an aspx to email i use this code below:

Dim objMM As New MailMessage
Dim client As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim buffer() As Byte =
client.DownloadData("http://www.mysite.nl/mypage.aspx")
Dim str As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer)

objMM.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html
objMM.UrlContentBase = "http://www.mysite.nl"
objMM.From = "ne**@mysite.nl"
objMM.Subject = "MySite.nl news-update"
objMM.Body = str
objMM.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Html

Dim x As Short
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "my,smtpserver"

objMM.To = "someemailaddress"
SmtpMail.Send(objMM)
When i send this to a hotmail-account and open the email with msn the
layout of the email is a bit strange and not showing all the pic's.

When i get the same email with outlook/incredimail (pop3) it shows the right
layout.

Question: how to take care of msn. Perhaps when accessing the email with
webmail it will also be messed up ??

nowadays a lot of providers are starting to block the pictures
(unfortunately i think the img tags point to the pictures on your website)
as they are not a part of the email.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for posting in the community! My name is Steven, and I'll be
assisting you on this issue.
From your description, you use the Smtp class in dotnet framework to send
emails in your ASP.NET web application. However, you found that when you
view the mail you sent from your ASP.NET web apps in different mail
clients(such as OutLook or Hotmail...) , the displayed layout are somewhat
different. Some picutres missed in in MSN mail client, yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

As for this problem, I'm sure it is due to he different mail clients
different treatment on the receiveing mails. Also, I agree with Hermit's
opinion that some mail clients may block certain picutures or other rich
element in the mail. Or some times some certain rich format emails will
also be displayed in different layout in different mail clients. So this
doesn't due to your code or the mail conetent you've sent. How do you think
of this?

In addtion, here is a tech article on this problem:

Please check out the preceding suggestions. If you have any questions,
please feel free to let me know.
