Do you mean that you want to use a published custom form as a data-entry
form and have it generate a plain text message using the standard message
form? If so, take a look at the code sample at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=780, which demonstrates how to
create one message from the information on another, transferring all
recipients and attachments. For your scenario, you would extend it by
building the string for the Item.Body property from the data in custom
fields. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38 for a primer on
the syntax for working with Outlook properties.
