Hi Dan,
I know this code does the job:
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]",
"mypassword");
client.Port = 587;
client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
client.EnableSsl = true;
MailAddress maFrom = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Sender's
Name", Encoding.UTF8);
MailAddress maTo = new MailAddress("[email protected]", "Recipient's
Name", Encoding.UTF8);
MailMessage mmsg = new MailMessage(maFrom, maTo);
mmsg.Body = "<html><body><h1>Some HTML Text for Test as
BODY</h1></body></html>";
mmsg.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
mmsg.IsBodyHtml = true;
mmsg.Subject = "Some Other Text as Subject";
mmsg.SubjectEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
client.Send(mmsg);
