Hi All,

From code, I would like to send a few html emails asynchronously, using SMTP.

The EmailMessageTask class could be used, except it's only allowing plain text emails. The code snippet below, taken from EmailMessagesTask.cs, shows that Email.Send() is not using html (second to last parameter is false).

public class EmailMessageTask
{
...
private void RunTask()
{
  ...
  Email.Send(
   smtpSettings,
   emailFrom,
   emailFromAlias,
   emailReplyTo,
   emailTo,
   emailCc,
   emailBcc,
   subject,
   textBody,
   false,
   emailPriority);
  ...
}
...
}

We could expose UseHTML as a public property on EmailMessageTask and then pass that as the second to last parameter. For example:

public class EmailMessageTask
{
...
private bool useHTML = false;
...
public bool UseHTML
{
  get { return useHTML; }
  set { useHTML = value; }
}
...
private void RunTask()
{
  ...
  Email.Send(
   smtpSettings,
   emailFrom,
   emailFromAlias,
   emailReplyTo,
   emailTo,
   emailCc,
   emailBcc,
   subject,
   textBody,
   useHTML,
   emailPriority);
  ...
}
...
}

Could we implement this, or is there an existing alternative in mojoPortal?

Kind regards,

Jonas

P.S

Another option would be to not use EmailMessageTask, instead have the Email class indirectly expose SmtpClient's SendAsync() method (see SmtpClient Class). This option would require more work.

Great. Thanks Joe!
