Creating email messages using MailMessage class

I'd like to create a plain text email with a fixed font, so that I can format it such that the content falls into columns. How can I change the font of the body in a MailMessage instance? I do not want to use HTML content with <tables>.

Thanks in advance.

using System.Net.Mail;

MailMessage _mMessage new MailMessage();

_mMessage.To.Add("abc@123.com");
 
MailAddress _maFrom = new MailAddress"abc@123.com","Name");

_mMessage.From = _maFrom;
 
_mMessage.Subject = "Subject";

_mMessage.IsBodyHtml = false;

_mMessage.Body = "Body";
 
SmtpClient _emailer = new SmtpClient();

_emailer.Host = "Your smpt Server";

_emailer.Port = 25;
 
_emailer.Send(_mMessage);

plain text emails do NOT contain font control.
It sends "plain text", the font is determined by the client.
If you want different fonts, you need to use something other then plain text emails. (Like an html email)

Actually plaint are the text without any formatting..................

So try this code for sending Palin Text.......
if u want to create formatted one plz try HTML FORAMTTED EMAIL

protected void btn_Send_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.To = txt_To.Text;
message.From = txt_From.Text;
message.Subject = txt_Subject.Text;
message.Body = txt_Content.Text;
message.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text;
SmtpMail.Send(message);
Response.Write("Success");
}

Nice Pgmg
