Formatting a string for emailing

[CyrusAyers]

Id like to take an ASP string, and send it as the body of an email. This works fine, but id like to keep the <br> and <b> characters, etc. so it formats the same as in the "Preview email" page.
Heres what i have (tried reading your posts) and it dosent work yet:

Set objMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
objMail.From = SENDER
objMail.To = TRANS
objMail.Subject = "GED Transcript Request (Form Generated)"
objMail.Body = Session("TransReq")
objMail.MailFormat = 0  'send HTML format
objMail.BodyFormat = 0  'same
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing

Thanks for any help!
PS could i use TGML?
