Hi I am using MVC Mailer to manage creating and sending emails in my application. It will create and send the email fine but any html I insert inside the body in the layout is not in the email.
Mailer
public class Mailer : MailerBase, IMailer
{
public aMailer()
{
MasterName = "_EmailLayout";
}
public virtual MvcMailMessage RequestAccess(RequestAccessViewModel viewmodel)
{
ViewData.Model = viewmodel;
return Populate(x =>
{
x.Subject = "RequestAccess for Data";
x.ViewName = "RequestAccess";
x.To.Add("AppTeam@groups.hp.com");
x.From = new MailAddress(viewmodel.Email);
});
}
}
I am setting it to use _EmailLayout here, I cahnged the name after seeing that there was an issue with naming it _Layout because it would conflict with any other files named _Layout.
_EmailLayout
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Mailer</h1>
@RenderBody()
Thanks
</body>
The contents of the H1 tag or "Thanks" are not in the email
Access.cshtml
<h3>"This is a Application email." </h3>
<p>@Model.Message</p>
<br/>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>@Model.Name</p>
<p>Business Area: @Model.BusinessArea</p>
Email Source
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p> Hi jeff test,</p>
<br>
<p>Thank you for your enquiry about the Application.</p>
<br>
</body>
Has anyone come across this issue before? When I debug my application I can see that it is going into the _EmailLayout but I don't know why the HTML in that files is not rendered.
