## HtmlLoadOptions class

Provides options for controlling how [`MailMessage`](../mailmessage/) instances are loaded from HTML format. This class allows you to specify resource paths and control the generation of plain text views when converting HTML messages to MailMessage objects.

```csharp
public class HtmlLoadOptions : LoadOptions
```

## Constructors

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [HtmlLoadOptions](htmlloadoptions/)() | Initializes a new instance of the `HtmlLoadOptions` class with the default options. |

## Properties

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [MessageFormat](../../aspose.email/loadoptions/messageformat/) { get; } | Gets the format this options object loads, as determined by its class: EML, MSG, MHTML, HTML and so on. |
| [PathToResources](../../aspose.email/htmlloadoptions/pathtoresources/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets the folder that relative paths of images and other resources in the HTML are resolved against. |
| [PreferredTextEncoding](../../aspose.email/loadoptions/preferredtextencoding/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets the encoding used for the subject and the body regardless of what the message declares. The default is `null`: the declared encoding is used. |
| [PreserveEmbeddedMessageFormat](../../aspose.email/loadoptions/preserveembeddedmessageformat/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets a value indicating whether embedded messages keep their original format (EML or MSG) when loaded. The default is `false`. |
| [RemoveSignature](../../aspose.email/loadoptions/removesignature/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets a value indicating whether the digital signature is removed from a signed message while it is loaded. |
| [ShouldAddPlainTextView](../../aspose.email/htmlloadoptions/shouldaddplaintextview/) { get; set; } | Gets or sets a value indicating whether a plain-text version of the body is added to the message. The default is `false`. |

## Remarks

Use this class with [`Load`](../mailmessage/load/) to load HTML files and convert them to MailMessage objects. The [`PathToResources`](./pathtoresources/) property enables loading of external resources (images, CSS) referenced in the HTML, while [`ShouldAddPlainTextView`](./shouldaddplaintextview/) controls whether to automatically generate a plain text alternate view.

## Examples

The following example shows how to load an HTML file and preserve external resources.

[C#]

```csharp
// Create HTML load options with path to resources
var loadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions()
{
    PathToResources = "C:\\resources\\",
    ShouldAddPlainTextView = true
};

// Load HTML file
using (MailMessage message = MailMessage.Load("sample.html", loadOptions))
{
    // Convert to EML format
    message.Save("output.eml", SaveOptions.DefaultEml);
}
```

[Visual Basic]

```csharp
' Create HTML load options with path to resources
Dim loadOptions As New HtmlLoadOptions() With {
    .PathToResources = "C:\resources\",
    .ShouldAddPlainTextView = True
}

' Load HTML file
Using message As MailMessage = MailMessage.Load("sample.html", loadOptions)
    ' Convert to EML format
    message.Save("output.eml", SaveOptions.DefaultEml)
End Using
```
