How can I create an email in HTML format?

[Charterhouse]

I am trying to create an email whose content is in HTML format type. The method code I'm using (in VFP8) is as follows:-

PARAMETERS pToWhom, pTitle, pBody
oOutlook = GETOBJECT(,"Outlook.Application")
oMailItem = oOutlook.CreateItem(0)
oMailItem.To = pToWhom
oMailItem.Subject = pTitle
oMailItem.Body = pBody
oMailItem.Save()
oMailItem.Send()
RELEASE oMailItem
RELEASE oOutlook

This works find for a plain text, but I cannot find any oMailItem.EmailType property or whatever it might be called in the Object Model for Outlook.

Also would the oMailItem.Body = have to be in HTML?

I sure this cannot be very difficult. Any Suggestions?

Charterhouse,

You need to set the HTMLBody property, not the Body property. Just store any text you like, including HTML tags, in HTMLBody.
