MailMessage.BodyEncoding Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets the encoding used to encode the message body.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The value specified for the BodyEncoding property sets the character set field in the Content-Type header. The default character set is "us-ascii".
If you set the BodyEncoding property to UTF8, Unicode, or UTF32, the Framework selects a TransferEncoding of Base64 for this MailMessage.
The following code example demonstrates creating a mail message that uses UTF8 encoding.
Dim message As New MailMessage([from], [to]) message.Body = "This is a test e-mail message sent by an application. " ' Include some non-ASCII characters in body and subject. Dim someArrows As New String(New Char() {ChrW(&H2190), ChrW(&H2191), ChrW(&H2192), ChrW(&H2193)}) message.Body += Environment.NewLine & someArrows message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 message.Subject = "test message 1" & someArrows message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
