HTML and plain-text emails

You want to send an email that includes both rich HTML and plain text versions? Postal makes it easy.

Create the main view. This will have the headers and reference the views to use.

~\Views\Emails\Example.cshtml

To: test@test.com
From: example@test.com
Subject: Fancy email
Views: Text, Html

Create the text view. Note the naming convention: Example.cshtml → Example.Text.cshtml

Views\Emails\Example.Text.cshtml

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hello @ViewBag.PersonName,
This is a message

You must specify a single Content-Type header.

Create the HTML view, also with a single Content-Type header.

Views\Email\Example.Html.cshtml

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

<html>
  <body>
    <p>Hello @ViewBag.PersonName,</p>
    <p>This is a message</p>
  </body>
</html>
