contentType

The content type of the attachment. If a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), message/rfc822 value is used.

options

The options which affect how the attachment is added.

mailEnc

The mail encoding to use when placing the attachment data into the message.

// Load the message from file.
MailMessage messageToAttach = new MailMessage();
messageToAttach.LoadMessage(@"C:\Docs\TestMail.eml");

// Create new MailMessage object.
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();

// Set plain text body of the message.
msg.BodyPlainText = "Hello, World!";

// Add the attachment to the message.
msg.Attachments.Add(messageToAttach, "1.eml", "", "message/rfc822", null, NewAttachmentOptions.None, MailTransferEncoding.None);

// Save message to disk.
msg.SaveMessage(@"C:\Temp\TestEmail.eml");

[Visual Basic]
' To use the code below, import MailBee namespaces at the top of your code.
