Because this don't work?

Dim SMTP As SMTP

SMTP.HtmlBody = True



SMTP.Initialize("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "[email protected]", "password", "SMTP")
SMTP.UseSSL = True

SMTP.To.Add("[email protected]")
SMTP.Subject = "Test"
SMTP.Body = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><table border=1><tr><td>teste</td></tr></table></body></html>"


SMTP.Send


The result is:"<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><table border1><tr><td>teste</td></tr></table></body></html>"

and not the table html :( thanks

Hello @Luis Miguel T. Martins, try the code below, you should find that it works perfect for you

B4X: 
    Dim SMTPClient As SMTP
    SMTPClient.Initialize("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "[email protected]", "yourpassword", "SMTP")

    SMTPClient.Sender = "[email protected]"
    SMTPClient.To.Add([email protected])

    SMTPClient.UseSSL = True '465 for Gmail
    SMTPClient.HtmlBody = True

    SMTPClient.Subject = "Test Subject"
    SMTPClient.Body = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><table border=1><tr><td>teste</td></tr></table></body></html>"
    SMTPClient.Send

I just tried this and it works perfect. I just received an email with the word teste in the body and nothing else :)

could be. I´m not using smtp much in my apps. So i dont know. But i believe false is the default-value...
It´s less than a minute to find out if the command work after initalize. Did you tried it?

What I personally do is really simply.
I create an actual populated HTML document in Dreamweaver and save it into the assets folder. If necessary I embed keywords like #Name, #Address, #ZipCode, #Telephone etc that can be replaced with an actual name, Address, ZipCode, Telephone Number when reading into SMTPClient.Body. I then read the HTML file into SMTPClient.Body replacing #Name, #Address etc if I have including them in the HTML file.

That's it, it's easy to do and you do not have to worry about double quotes and guess work in your actual B4A code. Plus you can get the HTML side of things looking really nice and fancy before loading the html file into the SMTPClient.Body.

Enjoy...

@Peter Simpson :
I 100% agree in this method , since I also used a "replacement" string in my example/snippet.
e.g ($001).
B4X: 
   :
' change Background color to #e3efff
BodyTemp = BodyTemp.Replace ("$001","#e3efff")
SMTP.Body = BodyTemp
  :
The html template contains a $001 for changing the backgound color.
If more infos should be variable, define more placeholders in the html template. e.g. $002 , $003 ...

greets Jens
