how to display an html email in asp.net

i am trying to dislpay an html email in a razor view from System.Net.Mail.AlternatView. I cant seem to find anything on the internet that says how to do this. everytihng is related to creating emails as opposed to displaying them.

can anybody help?

i have been trying things like :

 @{var stream = Model.AlternateViews[0].ContentStream;
  using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
  {
      Html.Raw(reader.ReadToEnd());
      Html.Display(reader.ReadToEnd());
  }

im not sure how to extract the html content or how to display it though

thanks

Based om this Retrieving AlternateView's of email Answer you can just have function to get stream as string 

   public string ExtractAlternateView()
    {
        var message = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage();
        message.Body = "This is the TEXT version";

        //Add textBody as an AlternateView
        message.AlternateViews.Add(
            System.Net.Mail.AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(
                "This is the HTML version",
                new System.Net.Mime.ContentType("text/html")
            )
        );

        var dataStream = Model.AlternateViews[0].ContentStream;
        byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[dataStream.Length];
        return System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(byteBuffer, 0, dataStream.Read(byteBuffer, 0, byteBuffer.Length));
    }

and then

ViewBag.Message= string ExtractAlternateView();

 @Html.Raw(ViewBag.Message);
