XLM in body of email

I'm trying to send an email with XML in the body of the email, not as an attachment. I've used StringBuilder to build the body of the email as seen below. The problem is that the XML tags do not appear in the email, only the data.
Here is what I'm doing:

Code:

StringBuilder bodyBuilder = new StringBuilder();
            bodyBuilder.Append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>");
            bodyBuilder.Append("<?ADF version \"1.0\"?>");
            bodyBuilder.Append("<adf>");
            bodyBuilder.Append("<prospect>");
            bodyBuilder.Append("<RequestDate>" + personalInfo.CreatedOn.Value.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"));
            bodyBuilder.Append("</RequestDate>");
.
.
.
 }

                bodyBuilder.Append("</prospect>");
                bodyBuilder.Append("</adf>");               
            }


            string subject = "Lead from System";

            EmailHelper.SendTEXTEmail(fromAddress, toAddress, subject, bodyBuilder.ToString());

Your help will be sincerely appreciated.

The problem is that the XML tags do not appear in the email, only the data.

Are you surely checking the plaintext version of the mail?

i.e..with any sort of formatting disabled..

Yep. Plain text. Data only, no XML tags.

What does EmailHelper.SendTEXTEmail do?

It is supposed to send the email as plain text email as opposed to the SendHTMLEmail

Upon further review, EmailHelper actually seems to strip out all formatting. Found the source of the problem. Now I am struggling with sending an XML formatted email from C# dot net nuke.

Why not just use System.Net.Mail Namespace ()?
