Lotus Note PassThruHTML

I’m trying to send an email using LOTUS NOTES with the help of “domino” dll (Programming language : C#).

I want to attach a mail signature into the body of email. I’m hoping to add a .jpg for the signature. I also have other email body formatting. Hence I have decided to use HTML for styling and attaching the signature. After browsing the web found out that in NotesRichTextStyle there is a property PassThruHTML. The legal values that can be given for it as per this link are (-1), (0), (255).

The ISSUE is that when I set (-1) the app popup a message saying that “Style value must be True, False, or STYLE_NO_CHANGE (YES, NO, or MAYBE for Java)”.

But in c sharp code it accepts only int values but not the values given in the popup.

If you're just sending email you should look at the NotesMimeEntity classes, and review this website for examples: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21098323

PassThruHTML won't help you much unless you're trying to display custom HTML in a browser when viewing a Notes document or form via Domino.

Following is the C# code for the answer given by Ken Pespisa's reference link.

NotesSession LNSession = new NotesSession();
NotesDatabase LNDatabase = null;
NotesDocument LNDocument;
NotesMIMEEntity LNBody;
NotesStream LNStream;
NotesMIMEHeader LNHeader;

try
{
    LNSession.Initialize(txtPassword.Text);
    LNDatabase = LNSession.GetDatabase(txtServer.Text, txtUserName.Text, false);
    LNStream = LNSession.CreateStream();
    LNSession.ConvertMime = false;

    //Create an email
    LNDocument = LNDatabase.CreateDocument();
    LNDocument.ReplaceItemValue("Form", "Memo");
    LNBody = LNDocument.CreateMIMEEntity();

    LNHeader = LNBody.CreateHeader("Subject");
    LNHeader.SetHeaderVal("Add your subject here");

    LNHeader = LNBody.CreateHeader("To");
    LNHeader.SetHeaderVal("Give your recipient email address");

    LNStream.WriteText("<html>");
    LNStream.WriteText("<body bgcolor=\"blue\" text=\"white\">");
    LNStream.WriteText("<table border=\"2\">");
    LNStream.WriteText("<tr>");
    LNStream.WriteText("<td>Hello World!</td>");
    LNStream.WriteText("</tr>");
    LNStream.WriteText("</table>");
    LNStream.WriteText("</body>");
    LNStream.WriteText("</html>");
    LNBody.SetContentFromText(LNStream, "text/HTML;charset=UTF-8", MIME_ENCODING.ENC_IDENTITY_7BIT);
    LNDocument.Send(false);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
