Platform SDK: CDO for Windows 2000

Setting the HTML Message Body

In addition to a plain text body, you can use text formatted in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) using the IMessage.HTMLBody property. By default, the IMessage.AutoGenerateTextBody property in the object is set to True (VARIANT_TRUE); therefore, a plain text body is automatically generated from the HTML body text to support recipients whose e-mail client cannot display messages formatted in HTML. For more information on creating attachments, see Creating MIME Formatted Messages.
