How do I save an email (in msg format), created using the MailMessage Constructor

[Stephen Miller]

I have used the following code to create and send an email using the
MailMessage Constructor:

'-- Imports System.Web.Mail
Dim oMail As New MailMessage()
With oMail
.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
.To = "(e-mail address removed)
.Subject = "My message"
.Body = "This is my message"
.Priority = MailPriority.High
End With

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "mail.this.com"
SmtpMail.Send(oMail)


However, I can't seem to find a way to save the email (preferably in
msg format) prior to sending. Is this possible?

I would wrap this class and use XML to save it. I'm not sure about the
attachment though

Hi Stephen,

Doesn't look like there are any methods to do anything like that.

I'd do a try catch on the .send method; if it works, I'd save to .to.
..subject etc in a table; I'd add any attachments as string references (full
path) in the table as well, looping through if there are several and saving
those to an auxiliary and linked table, linked on a 'time sent' key.

HTH,

Hi Terry,

I thought you was on a contract, however this is not about an attachment I
thought.

I made a message yesterday and than I saw it was about the msg format. I
would not know how to save it that way in another way than in a kind of
textformat, so I was waiting to see if there was someone who had a delighted
idea.

Normally it is in my opinion just saving the mail in a database before you
write it using smtpserver in my opinion. (And when you have exchange server
in the database exchange).

Yes, I understand now. I am leaving for work in about 10 minutes as my start
time is 09:30
