## LoadOptions class

Serves as the abstract base class for format-specific options when loading [`MailMessage`](../mailmessage/) from various email formats (EML, EMLX, HTML, MHTML, etc.). This class provides common configuration properties such as text encoding, embedded message format preservation, and signature handling.

```csharp
public abstract class LoadOptions
```

## 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. |
| [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. |

## Remarks

This class is designed to be inherited by concrete format-specific classes like [`EmlLoadOptions`](../emlloadoptions/), [`EmlxLoadOptions`](../emlxloadoptions/), and [`HtmlLoadOptions`](../htmlloadoptions/). Do not instantiate this class directly. Use the format-specific subclasses to access format-specific loading options.
