What's the equivalent of @Html.Raw in Postal?

Question

I'm running Postal from a service. My @Message has html. @Html.Raw is not available. When Postal runs my templated view, I get HtmlEncoded html. does anyone know how to fix this?

have you tried returning it as a `IHtmlString` or `HtmlString`? — Daniel A. White, Sep 16 '15 at 18:21

In our service, we've used:

@Raw(StringToBeEncoded)

In the html template it will complain it can not be resolved, but at runtime @Raw works fine. Its part of RazorEngine.

You can use:

@(new System.Web.HtmlString(StringToBeEncoded))

which is basically the same as does HtmlHelper.Raw(StringToBeEncoded) method under the hood. Moreover, you will not get any error in Visual Studio for the templates.

Due to the fact Postal uses [RazorEngine](https://www.nuget.org/packages/razorengine) library internally, you can also use `@(new RazorEngine.Text.RawString(StringToBeEncoded))`, as long as you are not going to use the template outside Postal (e.g. to render directly as view in controller methods). – Jozef Benikovský Oct 24 '18 at 10:51
When sending an email with `Postal.EmailService.Send(email)`, using `HtmlString` will send an encoded version of the HTML, meaning open and closed brackets will be shown. When viewing a preview of the email with `new EmailViewResult(email)`, using `HtmlString` will result in an unencoded string. When sending an email with `Postal.EmailService.Send(email)`, using `RawString` will send an unencoded version of the HTML. When viewing a preview of the email with `new EmailViewResult(email)`, using `RawString` will result in an encoded string, meaning open and closed brackets will be shown. – Onosa Feb 24 '22 at 18:30
