Postal

Create email using ASP.NET MVC views

Creating email without sending

You don’t have to rely on Postal to send your emails. Instead, you can just create a System.Net.Mail.MailMessage object and process it some other way. The MailMessage will contain all the email headers, content and attachments.

Postal’s EmailService class provides a CreateMailMessage method.

public class ExampleController : Controller 
{
    public ExampleController(IEmailService emailService)
    {
        this.emailService = emailService;
    }

    readonly IEmailService emailService;

    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        dynamic email = new Email("Example");
        // ...

        var message = emailService.CreateMailMessage(email);
        CustomProcessMailMessage(message);        

        return View();
    }
}
