I think you need to follow the instructions on this link. Amazon doesn't let you add attachments or other more complicated message types (iCalendar events). Essentially you need to handcraft the message body by string building and manipulation.

Currently I do this for iCalendar format emails on a legacy system. It's a bit of a pain in the ass, but if you read RFC 2822, it tells you pretty clearly what the format is. Special things to pay attention to:

• Base64 encoding of the data
• MIME types
• Make sure your multipart boundaries match up (and are unique)
• Finicky problems with the number of line breaks (\n) after certain lines

Best of luck. I don't know if there is an open library that will do this sort of thing for you in C#. If you can find one then try use it, because dealing with the intricacies of the RFC should have a medical notice for increased blood pressure and hair loss.
