That’s because the < character that’s part of the selector makes Outlook think it’s HTML code.

Put it inside <pre> and </pre> tags, in other words…

"<pre>" + exception.Message + "</pre>"

i put as you said but its not working…

Try this instead…

system.web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(exception.Message)

Can you check
"<b>" + exception.Message + "</b>"
or
"<strong>" + exception.Message + "</strong>"

What is the result of

system.web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(exception.Message)

You can’t just say “it’s not working” - give us details. Error message? Text shows up but wrong? Text doesn’t show up?

(You can view the email source to see that the selector is there)

One simple way of dealing with it is just to replace the < and > with [ and]

Replace(Replace(exception.Message,“<”,“[”),“>”,“]”)

was flagged as solution, so we do have second source

with a detail description on what is not working / the result we could better help
isHtml is activated we do assume

Also combined with Pauls input to encode entities it should work.

so test bold
test encoding entities
test combined

this way is working its clear that the problem is in the caracters < and >

i try to find a way to keep them as text

Yes, as I already explained < and > are characters that are used in HTML code. So Outlook thinks the selector is HTML code, and tries to parse it.

That’s why you need to use…

system.web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(exception.Message)

This will convert the < and > to &lt; and &gt; so that Outlook will display it instead of trying to use it as HTML.
