I'm trying to send a CRM HTML email from within a C# console app. I need to have some variables in the HTML. It's working fine, but I'm hard coding the HTML in the code. I think there's a different/better way to do this?

    Thanks.

    Would you recommend putting the html in a configuration file?

    Hi,

    To convert HTML to plain text refer 

    https://crmbusiness.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/crm-2013-convert-email-html-to-plain-text/

    Try the code below.

    Regex.Replace(emailHTML, @"<(.|\n)*?>", string.Empty);

    See the link below to send an email using c# code.
