Checkbox in an email
- by Austin
I am creating an email using the c# MailMessage and I am trying to add a checkbox that doesn't need to be clicked. The checkboxes will be used for a checklist of what to bring to an event (like a packing list). I have:
MailMessage objEmail = new MailMessage();
objEmail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
objEmail.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
objEmail.CC.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
objEmail.Bcc.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]"));
objEmail.Subject = "Packing list!";
objEmail.IsBodyHtml = true;
objEmail.Body = @"<div width=""800px"">
<h3>WHAT TO BRING</h3>
<form>
<input type=""checkbox"" name=""item"" value=""shirt"">Shirt<br>
<input type=""checkbox"" name=""item"" value=""shoes"">Shoes
</form></div>";
but when I send the email the checkboxes do not appear in the list.
Output in outlook using outlook.com:
WHAT TO BRING
I have a bike
I have a car
Output in outlook using Microsoft Outlook:
WHAT TO BRING
[ ]I have a bike
[ ]I have a car
Output in outlook using hotmail.com:
WHAT TO BRING
I have a bike
[]I have a car
So the problem is with the mail client but it is inconsistent what the problem is. I s there any way to make a consistent output?
Is there a way with html that works to create the checkboxes or do I just need to include images of a checkbox?
Thanks in advance.
