SharePoint – Send HTML Email with CC, BCC

Ref: http://www.dennispoint.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=28

This is something I needed for one of the projects I worked for in Omaha where they needed the ability to send HTML-formatted emails and be able to define the CC and BCC fields in the email.

So I created a method to do this :)

 

/// <summary>

/// Send an html email message

/// </summary>

/// <param name="web">SPWeb</param>

/// <param name="toEmail">email addresses, semi-colon seperated</param>

/// <param name="ccEmail">email addresses, semi-colon seperated</param>

/// <param name="bccEmail">email addresses, semi-colon seperated</param>

/// <param name="subject">email subject</param>

/// <param name="body">HTML email body</param>

public static void SendEmail(SPWeb web, string toEmail, string ccEmail, 

                             string bccEmail,

                             string subject, string body)

{

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(toEmail))

    {

        StringDictionary headers = new StringDictionary

                                       {

                                           //{"from", "dalzoubi@the-e.net"},

                                           {"to", toEmail},

                                           {"cc", ccEmail},

                                           {"bcc", bccEmail},

                                           {"subject", subject},

                                           {"content-type", "text/html"}

                                       };

        SPUtility.SendEmail(web, headers, body);

    }

}

This can also be used with SharePoint workflows by calling this method from within a code activity
