Exception "FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Text.Encoding.CodePages, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'."

I am using netcoreapp3.1 and latest Aspose.Email package from nuget in my azure function project and when trying to load MailMessage.Load() I get below exception.

FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Text.Encoding.CodePages, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hello @chudamani.khadka,

The FileNotFoundException for System.Text.Encoding.CodePages, Version=5.0.0.0 indicates that the required assembly for encoding is not present.

You may manually add the System.Text.Encoding.CodePages package to your project.

Hi, I did manually add the package. still I get this error.

This is a known issue with Azure Functions, not Aspose.Email.

Here are some links from other Azure Functions users who have also encountered this issue:

I hope the provided solutions will help.
