.NET to convert HTML to text

In very simple cases, it does work that way. However, there
are a whole slew of messages where that doesn't work.

IIRC when using CDO (NTS) to send emails it basically drops
the email
into the inetpub\mailroot\queue directory. You could
manually generate
an email with two parts (plain text and HTML) and drop it
into that
directory.

I haven't looked at the format for a while, but IIRC this
is pretty
straightforward. To check, stop the mail service and send
out a HTML
email. That should drop a properly formatted email with HTML
and
plaintext parts into the queue directory.

Just to correct what I said here slightly. If you send
emails using the
.Net email tools and don't specify a relay mail server,
then the email
gets generated and dropped into the
inetpub\mailroot\queue. I'm not sure
how it handles HTML emails (I haven't tested whether it
generates a text
part).

Effectively if you drop a properly formatted eml file into
the queue
directory, it will send it.
