i had this problem a while ago and i left it unsolved.

my project needed to make the user format the email body inside rtf control (Rich Text format). after that i tried to convert it from rtf to html but i failed miserably.

i am insterested to hear if any one have a solution

thx in advance

when you send an email as text, it will be displayed using the default font that their email client uses to display text, a standard text email doesn't contain any formatting info.... like dotnetboy said.. you need to sent it as HTML, so you can mark up the text with your own desired font.. keep in mind the end user needs to have that font on their system to view it properly.. otherwise their email client will render the HTML with a default font like arial or tahoma...

Thanks. Ill just do that. The computer is for that purpose only. I got one more question. I havent dont any type of prog in the last 2 years so i'm rusty. I want to bold the label when the text box has focus. in my head i know the vb 6 way to do it but cant remember how in .net

Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.GotFocus
        label1.Font = New Font(label1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
        label1.Font = New Font(label1.Font, FontStyle.Regular)
    End Sub
