New action/method for VBA

Guys,

How about a new action/method called "SendEmail" that invokes the local
email program (even if it's not Outlook or OutlookExpress) and has options
for email format (plain text, html, enriched text) and allows using a
specific .txt/.html/.doc/.rtf file as the body of the email?

Would be even better if .html & .doc bodies would support variables like
used in a mail merge.

Allen,
Is there currently a way to easily use a separate html document as the body
of an email generated by SendObject? (Other than programatically opening,
reading as text, then embedding that text as the body?)
SendObject is great for sending Access-type attachments, but creating more
modern, flexible email bodies could be simplified.

I agree. At first I thought you were just overlooking SendObject, but
when I read your message more closely I saw what you wanted. These are
frequent newsgroup questions: How do I send an e-mail in HTML format?
How do I attach a file that is not an Access object? It would be nice
to have an e-mail function that would provide this functionality,
wherever the default mail client makes it available, without the user
having to delve into the details. The attachment feature, at least, is
generally available via MAPI. I suspect that the format feature may be
a thornier one.
