Outlook 2003 start new message with html source

[Blast]

Hi, I want to start a outlook message but write html to the source
rather then text. Is this possible?

I can open up an outlook 2003 message and write to the address, subject
body.

Example:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe /c ipm.note /m
asdf?subject=something^&body=^<b^>asdf^</b^>


However, this writes <b>asdf</b> in the message body. I want it to
write B (in bold), can this be done?

I don't believe that can be done with a shortcut.

That is unfortunate, if this is the case.

Can you use Com interop to do this with forms .net. I assume you can
create a email message programmatically, but does the object expose a
way to be able to write to the html source and not the text?

That's a question for one of the programming groups.
