Should I create an HTML message with empty AltBodyText, when sending it AltBodyText is generated by MailBee using GetPlainFromHtml method (as it is stated in docs).
Is there a way to avoid this, in case I just want to send an HTML message with no plain text at all?

MailBee automatically generates plain-text version only when receiving mail. When composing mail, it's REQUIRED to call Message.MakeAltBody in order to create plain-text version.
So, you need to do nothing in order to create HTML-only messages.

Sorry it was my mistake: this behaviour only happens when importing an .eml file. My app sends a message, then saves it and finally reloads it. In this case (after reloading) AltBodyText is automatically generated:
Dim oMailer As New MailBee.SMTP
oMailer.Message.BodyFormat = 1
oMailer.Message.BodyText = "<p>test</p>"
MsgBox oMailer.Message.AltBodyText
oMailer.Message.SaveMessage "C:\test.eml"
oMailer.Message.ImportFromFile "C:\test.eml"
MsgBox oMailer.Message.AltBodyText
The problem is fixed using ".AltBodyOptions" property (from yor previous message):
Dim oMailer As New MailBee.SMTP
oMailer.Message.BodyFormat = 1
oMailer.Message.BodyText = "<p>test</p>"
MsgBox oMailer.Message.AltBodyText
oMailer.Message.SaveMessage "C:\test.eml"
oMailer.Message.AltBodyOptions = 0
oMailer.Message.ImportFromFile "C:\test.eml"
MsgBox oMailer.Message.AltBodyText

BTW, if you need to just resend messages preserving original message body (i.e. everything you want is to add/modify some headers and resend the message) you can use undocumented MinimalRebuild property and AddHeader/RemoveHeader methods:
Code:
oMailer.Message.MinimalRebuild = True
oMailer.Message.ImportFromFile "C:\test.eml"
oMailer.Message.AddHeader "To", "someone@domain.com"
MsgBox oMailer.Message.AltBodyText
oMailer.Send
|
|
|
Note that AddHeader will overwrite existing header if it already exists.
In minimal rebuild mode, MailBee does not touch message body itself, and headers manipulation is limited to AddHeader/RemoveHeader methods. Setting and calling other message manipulation methods and properties does not have any effect. MailBee will not add its own headers, etc. For example, "Received:" timestamp headers will be preserved if you didn't delete them with RemoveHeader method.
Thus, minimal rebuild mode allows you to keep original encodings, MIME boundaries, headers formatting, etc.
Regards,
Alex

Thanks, that was very useful (and very fast support too: I'm very glad I made the right choice buying your components some days ago).
Will undocumented properties (or methods) be preserved in future releases?

Yes, all undocumented properties and methods will be preserved.
Also, some of these properties/methods will be officially released/documented in future versions.
