Sending an email in windows phone 8 app with html content set as body to that email?

Question

Hi i am developing an windows phone 8 app , in which i would like to send email from my application .

sending an email can be done in this way easily in this way :-

EmailComposeTask emailComposeTask = new EmailComposeTask(); 
emailComposeTask.To = "someone@example.com";    
emailComposeTask.Cc = "testmail@test.com"; 
emailComposeTask.Subject = "Windows Phone 8"; 
emailComposeTask.Show(); 

But my Doubt is :-

By default, it's not possible. However, this post may help you: Send HTML Content Via EmailComposeTask

2)Are they any other ways / alternatives of accomplishing this task ??

There could be, but as EmailComposeTask is for Windows phone only, so you should go with it.

3)Am i missing an alternative provided by Microsoft ??

Microsoft only provided this for Windows phone. EmailComposeTask

Hope it helps you.

You can simply use string.ToHtml() which converts the whole string into a html format.
