thanks so much to share I really appreciate. I would like to know how can I send html in body. Kind regards

@urko-b html goes directly into the body
body := "<div>This is an <b>example</b> body.\n With two lines.</div>"

I have try this example to send a mail via smtp.office365.com:587 and got error after c.Auth(), there is error message:

2024/12/02 15:50:16 504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type [TPYP295CA0020.TWNP295.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM 2024-12-02T07:50:11.227Z 08DD11A71FE694FB]
