! and spaces added to email when sending email in .net application

[Nicola]

When using the NewMail.Body object, ! and spaces are being added into
the email after the email has been sent. Has anyone else had this
problem or even better a solution??

Hi Nicola,

Paste in some code, maybe we can help you?

(When you do that first to the notebook and then copy from there in the
mail, otherwise we get a very long message)

Hi Nicola,

I see in your message some (incomplete) code to put HTML lines on a webpage.

A normal shared mailfunction, that will be activated by

SendMail(MailFrom, MailTo , MailSubject, MailBody)

With that function I see as far as I can see it now nothing wrong

But there is is a lot of generated HTML code, from what I asume you make
the MailBody, (the code is not there) did you try it with just an empty
body, I think that is the best approach to see it the ! is by the HTML or
just by something else.
