Multiple color fonts in one html email

mailItem.HTMLBody = "

Dear IT Dept.

You have received a new "+ comboBox3.Text + " priority task to complete from " + textBox1.Text + ". Please save the attached file and fit the task in to your schedule.

Once completed please contact the " + textBox2.Text + " for comfirmation the task is completed to thier expectations.

The Task is as follows:

" + richTextBox1.Text + "

Kind Regards,

" + textBox1.Text + "

";

I basically want to highlight the text/combo boxes or at least change their font color. Annoyingly you can't see the html code I used but it should be pretty obvious but I tried using the font color...with no luck. can't see where I'm going wrong

Did you mean : 

mailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body><p>Dear IT Dept.</p> <p>You have         received a new task to complete from " + textBox2.Text + " Please check the attached file and     fit the task in to your schedule.</p><p> Once completed please contact the provided contactee for comfirmation the task is completed to thier expectations.</p>";

?

In your version, "textbox2.txt" will be manipulated as a string, it won't be "parsed". In mine it's a control on your form and we put its text content in the mail.

Edit : you asked how to emphase the variable, here is a example : Try something like 

mailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body><p>Dear IT Dept.</p> <p>You have received a new task to complete from <strong>" + textBox2.Text + "</strong> Please check the attached file and fit the task in to your schedule.</p><p> Once completed please contact the provided contactee for comfirmation the task is completed to thier expectations.</p>";

The "strong" tag around your variable will put the name in bold.

                var mailItem= new MailMessage();
                SmtpClient SmtpServer = new SmtpClient("smtp server addess");

                mailItem.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
                mailItem.To.Add("it-department@???.co.uk");


                    mailItem.Subject = string.Format("You have a new task from {0}", comboBox3.Text);
                    mailItem.To = "";
                    mailItem.Body =string.Format("<html><body><p>Dear IT Dept.</p> <p>You have         received a new task to complete from {0} Please check the attached file and     fit the task in to your schedule.</p><p> Once completed please contact the provided contactee for comfirmation the task is completed to their expectations.</p>",textBox2.txt);

                    attachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(@"\\??-filesvr\shares\Shared\+++++Web Projects+++++\????\IssueReport.txt");

There is no HTMLBody property on the MailMessage class (assuming this is what you're using?).

It's just Body.

You would do something like this:

 mailItem.Body = string.Format("<html><body><p>Dear {0}.</p>", comboBox3.Text);

Etc...

You need to have:

mailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body>... from " + textBox2.Text + " Please ...";

instead of 

mailItem.HTMLBody = "<html><body>... from (textBox2.txt) Please ...";

I can see that you try to put value of textBox2.txt. Your mistake is that wrote textBox2.txt as a string content. So you can achive this with using string.Format method.

You should to change it with this:

  mailItem.HTMLBody = string.Format("<html><body><p>Dear IT Dept.</p> <p>You have         received a new task to complete from ({0}) Please check the attached file and     fit the task in to your schedule.</p><p> Once completed please contact the provided contactee for comfirmation the task is completed to thier expectations.</p>", textBox2.Text);

Notice that textBox2.Text and {0} element. Note: You also wrong with syntax of TextBox.Text property.
