Sending Rich Text via Outlook

[Microsoft]

Can anyone tell me how to send a rich text document via the XP version of
Outlook?

We used to be able to take text from the rich text control and send it as
the message body in the 2000 version of outlook, now it just appears as
junk.

Does anyone know the trick to getting this to work?

Thanks.

The "trick" you used in earlier versions was undocumented and unsupported --
a good object lesson in why not to use unsupported techniques, given that
there's no reason they'll carry over to later versions.

Your options are laid out in the article at

probably the easiest to implement.
