I am trying to send emails from my application (not using a plugin, that
will come later), I can create an email and add attachments. I can fill in
the body etc. Word works for the editor. So mostly what I want.
My issue is I would like to retain the signature block that exists when I
insert my body into the message.
Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code I am using:
//Initialize the envelope values.
string strTo = "na**@domain.com";
string strBCC = "na**@domain.com";
string strCC = "na**@domain.com";
string strSubject = "Outlook Automation";
string strBody = "HTMLPage1.htm";
//Automate the Word document.
wApp = new Word.Application();
wApp.Visible = false;
object template = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object newTemplate = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object documentType = Word.WdNewDocumentType.wdNewEmailMessage;
object visible = false;
wApp.Visible = false;
Word._Document doc = wApp.Documents.Add(
ref template,
ref newTemplate,
ref documentType,
ref visible);
//Automate the Outlook mail item.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mItem =
(Outlook.MailItem)doc.MailEnvelope.Item;
mItem.To = strTo;
mItem.BCC = strBCC;
mItem.CC = strCC;
mItem.Subject = strSubject;
// Attach a file
String sSource = "C:\\TEMP\\org.sql";
String sDisplayName = "MyFirstAttachment";
int iPosition = 1;
int iAttachType = (int)Outlook.OlAttachmentType.olByValue;
Outlook.Attachment oAttach = mItem.Attachments.Add(sSource, iAttachType,
iPosition, sDisplayName);
// Set the body
// Comment out and the signature stays
mItem.BodyFormat = Outlook.OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
mItem.HTMLBody =
"<html><head><title></title></head>"
+"<body><p>This is a text from my application</p>"
+"<br /><b>Some bold stuff</b>"
+"<br /></body></html>";
wApp.Visible = true;
// Loop until there are no more references to release.
while (Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mItem) 0) ;
mItem = null;
// Invoke the .NET garbage collector.
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
