Sending an email using sharepoint object model sharepoint 2010

Question

i have been working on generating email in an event receiver using share point object model..i used the sputility.sendemail method..2 things are necessary in the email(email from and HTML body)..so i used the SpUtility method...

public static bool SendEmail(
SPWeb web,
StringDictionary messageHeaders,
string messageBody

) but this method strips any HTML present in the body..so i looked same method diff parameters..

public static bool SendEmail(
SPWeb web,
bool fAppendHtmlTag,
bool fHtmlEncode,
string to,
string subject,
string htmlBody

)

public static bool SendEmail(
SPWeb web,
bool fAppendHtmlTag,
bool fHtmlEncode,
string to,
string subject,
string htmlBody,
bool appendFooter

) the above functions do provide the html body but no 'from' parameter...how can i have both the 'from' and 'body(HTML support)' parameters..any suggestions?

Try to specify headers in this way:

var headers = new StringDictionary();
headers.Add("subject", "Hi!");
// "text/html" to send rich html text in message body
headers.Add("content-type", "text/html");
headers.Add("to", "[email protected]");
headers.Add("from", "[email protected]");
SPUtility.SendEmail(web, headers, "<b>Hi there!</b>");
