This property specifies alternative body of current email.
In some cases, an email consists of two bodies. One is in text/html format, and another one is in text/plain format. It is called multipart/alternative format. AltBody property specifies text/plain part of an email. Why alternative? Suppose that the recipient's email client doesn't support html email, if AltBody is specified, email client will shows the AltBody.
BodyFormat property must be set to 1 (text/html) to take effect.
Usage Example:
[Visual Basic 6.0]
Private Sub SendEmail()
Dim oSmtp As EASendMailObjLib.Mail
Set oSmtp = New EASendMailObjLib.Mail
'The license code for EASendMail ActiveX Object,
'for evaluation usage, please use "TryIt" as the license code.
oSmtp.LicenseCode = "TryIt"
oSmtp.ServerAddr = "mail.adminsystem.net"
'If your server require user authentication
'oSmtp.UserName = "test@adminsystem.net"
'oSmtp.Password = "test"
'If your server requires SSL connection
'oSmtp.SSL_init
'oSmtp.SSL_starttls = 0
'oSmtp.ServerPort = 465
''If your server requires TLS connection
'oSmtp.SSL_init
'oSmtp.SSL_starttls = 1
'oSmtp.ServerPort = 25
oSmtp.FromAddr = "test@adminsystem.net"
oSmtp.AddRecipient "Support Team", "support@adminsystem.net", 0
oSmtp.BodyFormat = 1
oSmtp.Subject = "Test"
oSmtp.BodyText = "<html>..<body>Hello, this is a test...."
oSmtp.AltBody = "Hello, this is a test"
If oSmtp.SendMail() = 0 Then
MsgBox "Message delivered!"
Else
MsgBox oSmtp.GetLastErrDescription()
End If
