C# MailMessage send and display formatted tags

Question

I have a simple question, but maybe not for a simple answer :

How is it possible with a MailMessage object to send a mail with a body that contains (as string), for exemple, "" (without any space) ?

In fact, I need to (at the end) open a mail with as body as below :

 (without space)

As we can see, we have a three characters '<', 'b', '>' in bold. Indeed, the goal isn't to format an unformatted tag, but just to display a tag unformatted (so not a tag) in a formatted body !

I have as exemple the string This is a tag : , and I simply want to display : "This is a tag : ".

I hope that the question is clear :-) Thanks for your knowledge and sharing !

Do you mean sending HTML as body of your mail?

Don't use the actual < and > characters, replace them with < and > respectively.

For example the string This is a tag :  would be rendered in HTML like this:

This is a tag :
