Thank you.
It is resolved my problem.
Can you please let me know how can I get HTML contents from email body and read html table. I am getting emails which contains data in tabular form. I want to parse those data and put them on website.
Please let me know if it is possible.

Thanks,

See Get outlook mail messages html body
This will return the whole mail body in html and you will need to make some string operations to it.

I am not using outlook. I am getting email from gmail. I need to read html table. is it possible to find html element in a string.

6

Use mail.Headers(“HTMLBody”) , it doesn’t matter if you’re using outlook or something else.

Ok. Thank you.

Then can I read contents as html like find an element by tag name. if it is possible, please let me know how?

Then the returned body would look something like <div dir=\"ltr\">rarararara</div>\r\n in a string variable, for example.

firstly use mail.Headers(“HTMLBody”) and then convert that in mail.Headers(“plaintext”). it will be working

Thanks a lot ! This saved my day :grin: . I had sent almost an hour searching for why I could not get only the email.Body in SMTP email, while I could retrieve the value for other elements of the email object.
