I am using powershell to send an SMTP mail. The body of the email

  • 0

I am using powershell to send an SMTP mail. The body of the email is from a file.
The problem is, when I receive this email, it removes all spaces and linefeeds so it looks ugly.

Outlook client is no removing linebreaks.

My code is as follows:

$smtpserver = "smtpserver"
$from="email1@domain.com"
$to="email2@domain.com"
$subject="something"
$body= (Get-Content $OutputFile )
$mailer = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient($smtpserver)
$msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage($from,$to,$subject,$body)
$msg.IsBodyHTML = $true
$mailer.send($msg)

I have even tried to use get-content with -encoding ASCII and couple of others but no help.
Can anyone please help?

thanks

    Found the answer:

    use out-string in when reading the file. i.e.

    $body= (Get-Content $OutputFile | out-string )
