You would have to send the email as HTML email, see:

Sure, here's an example:

Dim objNewMail
Dim strBody
Set objNewMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

strBody = "<html>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "<head>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "<title>Msg w/ Table</title>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "</head>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "<body>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "<table>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "<tr>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "<td>Whatever you want</td>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "</tr>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "</table>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "</body>" & vbCrLf
strBody = strBody & "</html>" & vbCrLf

objNewMail.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
objNewMail.To = "(e-mail address removed)"
objNewMail.Subject = "Dinner Invitation"
objNewMail.BodyFormat = 0 ' means HTML
objNewMail.MailFormat = 0 ' means MIME
objNewMail.Body = strBody
objNewMail.Send
Set objNewMail = Nothing

You might, however, want to take a look at the CDO.Message
object, which relaces CDONTS.NewMail and is present on
Windows 2000 and newer systems. CDO.Message has several
improved features, one of which is the ability to specify
an outgoing mail server.
