How to change font in mail from vb.net

To change the font in an email sent from a VB.NET application, you can use the MailMessage class and set the BodyFormat property to Text or Html depending on the type of email you want to send.

Here is an example of how to change the font in a plain text email:

Imports System.Net.Mail

' Create a new MailMessage object
Dim mail As New MailMessage("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Subject", "Body")

' Set the font for the body of the email
mail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Text
mail.Body = "<font face=""Arial"" size=""3"">This is the body of the email</font>"

' Create a new SmtpClient object
Dim client As New SmtpClient("smtp.example.com")

' Send the email
client.Send(mail)

In this example, the BodyFormat property is set to Text and the Body property is set to a string that contains HTML code to set the font to Arial with a size of 3.

If you want to send an HTML email, you can set the BodyFormat property to Html and use HTML code to set the font:

Imports System.Net.Mail

' Create a new MailMessage object
Dim mail As New MailMessage("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Subject", "<html><body><font face=""Arial"" size=""3"">This is the body of the email</font></body></html>")

' Create a new SmtpClient object
Dim client As New SmtpClient("smtp.example.com")

' Send the email
client.Send(mail)

In this example, the BodyFormat property is set to Html and the Body property is set to a string that contains HTML code to set the font to Arial with a size of 3.

You can also use the AlternateViews property to add an alternative view of the email body, which can be useful if you want to send the same email to multiple recipients with different font settings:

Imports System.Net.Mail

' Create a new MailMessage object
Dim mail As New MailMessage("[email protected]", "[email protected]", "Subject", "Body")

' Create a new AlternateView object
Dim view As New AlternateView("Body", "text/plain; charset=UTF-8")

' Set the font for the body of the email
view.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=UTF-8")
view.Headers.Add("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "7bit")
view.Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=""body.txt""")

' Add the AlternateView to the MailMessage
mail.AlternateViews.Add(view)

' Create a new SmtpClient object
Dim client As New SmtpClient("smtp.example.com")

' Send the email
client.Send(mail)

In this example, the AlternateViews property is used to add an alternative view of the email body, which is set to plain text with a font of Arial with a size of 3.
