    When I send an email using code like this:

    emailMessage.TextPart = new TextAttachment("Hello");

    The email is translated into a multi-part MIME message:

    Content-Type: multipart/alternative;        boundary="_=DotNetOpenMail=_gr42odtduryxh2xfu4zewukhe32dkf1cwuns"
    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
    --_=DotNetOpenMail=_gr42odtduryxh2xfu4zewukhe32dkf1cwuns
    Content-Type: text/plain;
           charset="iso-8859-1"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

    Is it possible to send just a normal plain text (no MIME) email?

      Hi-

      Unfortunately, there isn't currently a way to override it.  Do you have recipients that can't read a MIME-encoded email?

      I don't know if all mobile devices that can read mail can read MIME-encoded mail. My application will be sending out mail to a variety of people. Normal text email seems to be safest bet as far as compatibility is concerned. What about adding a Body or BodyText property?

        Ok; I'll have a look at this for the next release.
