MailMessage.Hea ders and Content-Type

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.Su bject = "my subject";
emailMessage.He aders.Add("Cont ent-Type","text/calendar;method =\"REQUEST\"" );
emailMessage.Bo dy=@"BEGIN:VCAL ENDAR
PRODID:-//ACME/DesktopCalendar//EN
METHOD:REQUEST
VERSION:2.0.... <the rest of iCalendar>
";
MailService.Sen d(emailMessage) ;

Even though the content-type was specified in Headers collection the
resulting message still contains "text/plain" content-type.

Please help.

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.Htm l;

Hope that helps

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!

I believe that if the email reader does not support the "text/calendar"
type, it is probably converting it to "text/plain". Why email reader are
you using? 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".

Actually we use MS Outlook 2003 which does support it. 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.

I am creating MailMessage out of already existing email message. My existing message has few custom properties. I wan to add them to System.Net.Mail.MailMessage How to add custom properties? I was thinking adding custom properties to System.Net.Mail.MailMessage.Headers. but it's a READONLY property. System.Net.Mail.MailMessage has few header fields as properties (eg: FROM, TO, CC) and these are not sufficient.

Is there any way to change the sensitivity level of a message by modifying the MailMessage.Headers collection? We're using an Exchange server here and I would rather not use VSTO at all since the application doing the mailing is a Windows Service. Also, I'm using VS2003 and 2005 at the moment. Thanks!
