# EmailContent


An object that defines the entire content of the email, including the message headers, body content, and attachments. For a simple email message, you specify the subject and provide both text and HTML versions of the message body. You can also add attachments to simple and templated messages. For a raw message, you provide a complete MIME-formatted message, which can include custom headers and attachments.

## Contents


 ** Raw **   <a name="SES-Type-EmailContent-Raw"></a>
The raw email message. The message has to meet the following criteria:  
+ The message has to contain a header and a body, separated by one blank line.
+ All of the required header fields must be present in the message.
+ Each part of a multipart MIME message must be formatted properly.
+ If you include attachments, they must be in a file format that the Amazon SES API v2 supports. 
+ The raw data of the message needs to base64-encoded if you are accessing Amazon SES directly through the HTTPS interface. If you are accessing Amazon SES using an AWS SDK, the SDK takes care of the base 64-encoding for you.
+ If any of the MIME parts in your message contain content that is outside of the 7-bit ASCII character range, you should encode that content to ensure that recipients' email clients render the message properly.
+ The length of any single line of text in the message can't exceed 1,000 characters. This restriction is defined in [RFC 5321](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321).
