Sending a mail using a RichTextBox

[JMG]

Hello,
How could I send a mail in html format with the RichTextBox control ?
I tried this but it doesn't work:

MailMessage objMail = new MailMessage ();
objMail.Body = myRichTextBox.Rtf;
objMail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;

Thanks in advance.

rtf is a very different format from HTML. You can use those formatters but
I don't think they do translations -95% sure of this, but I'll look around
and verify first.

Cheers,

Thanks for your answer.
I keep on searching and will proceed differently if I find no solution.

The RichTextBox will produce RTF code, not HTML code.

Use the DHTML Edit control instead:

Right-click the toolbox -> "Add/Remove Elements..." ->
"COM Controls" -> "DHTML Edit Control for IE5".
