HTML output to Email Body

PowerShell Help
1

I would like to make the html file as the body of the email. But when I’m trying to add that as the body, its kinda like a text file only. Is there’s a way to put that as is (tabled, with color , etc).

###HTML Report####
$css = @"
<style>
<HTML><TITLE>EMC Data Capacity Report</TITLE><BODY>
h3, h5, th { text-align: left; font-family: Segoe UI; }
table { margin: auto; font-family: Segoe UI; box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888; border: thin ridge grey; }
th { background: #0046c3; color: #fff; max-width: 400px; padding: 5px 10px; }
td { font-size: 11px; padding: 5px 20px; color: #000; }
tr { background: #b8d1f3; }
tr:nth-child(even) { background: #dae5f4; }
tr:nth-child(odd) { background: #b8d1f3; }
</style>
"@


$Object | ConvertTo-Html -Head $css -Body "

Here is the output of the email

h3, h5, th { text-align: left; font-family: Segoe UI; } table { margin: auto; font-family: Segoe UI; box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888; border: thin ridge grey; } th { background: #0046c3; color: #fff; max-width: 400px; padding: 5px 10px; } td { font-size: 11px; padding: 5px 20px; color: #000; } tr { background: #b8d1f3; } tr:nth-child(even) { background: #dae5f4; } tr:nth-child(odd) { background: #b8d1f3; }

I believe CSS won’t be rendered in the mail client. Which mail client are you using ?

What do you mean which mail client?

Who you are viewing the mail ? I know outlook will not render CSS.

I used the following to get html in the body of a message:

It looks like you’re outputing to an html file, which I dont think you need to do…
