How to send an HTML file

[Carlos Machado]

Hi,

VBA examples on Outlook always show how to create
a mail message in which the body text is just one phrase
in TXT or HTML format. But how to open a text or HTML
file in the hard disk and send it as the message body?

Thanks in advance,
Carlos

Set the MailItem.HTMLBody property to a properly formatted HTML string.

Method #4 at http://www.slipstick.com/mail1/html.htm demonstrates this.

Embedding images programmatically requires CDO. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/htmlimg.htm for sample code.

Stationery is probably the easier method.

Hi, Sue

Thanks for the tip. It really works.
But I should add a little caveat. If your htm file has images, Outlook
doesn't send
them along with the text. So I think it would be necessary to make Outlook
treat the message as a stationery. In other words, the images must go
embedded
in the message. But I couldn't find anywhere a reference to VBA and
stationery.
