How to embed an attachment in System.Net.Mail.mailMessage using the Body properties

Question

I need to send an email with the application. No problem if I do it myself, but ...

Inside the company I work for, I need to go through a web service that expects email and bodies.

I know that the implementation of this service uses System.Web.mail.Mailmessage, perhaps something like this:

MailMessage mm = new MailMessage();
mm.to = email_;
mm.body = body_;
...

So, is there a way to create a string that will contain my binding so that I can send it to the web service?

THX

- Edition-- I have to use the "TheCompanyMail" class, which has 2 properties (to, body) and one method (send). This class is a proxy for the web service. This web service is the one that really sends mail. The problem is that I need to add an attachment to the mail and really don't know how to do it.

Example

File f = MyFuturAttachementFile;

TheComapyMail m = new TheCompanyMail();
m.to = "[e-mail]"
m.body = "Here is the file you're waiting for:"+f.ToString(); //this of course doesn't work !!!
m.send();

So, I am wondering if I can format the string of the body property to add an attachment?

Answer 1

I’m not sure that I’m right, but, in my opinion, it is impossible to transfer attachments by adding them to a line in the message body. The main reason - not an argument - is safety. I don't think Microsoft can allow this class to behave like this ...

You can create an HTML email address where the “attachment” is actually linked to download the file, rather than the actual email attachment.
