sending HTML mail

Fri Apr 24 19:38:21 EDT 2009

Hi Sadhu,
If you are on Windows, here's a VBScript that allows HTML body content:

=========================
Dim objOutl
Dim strHTML
Set objOutl = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objMailItem = objOutl.CreateItem(olMailItem)

strHTML = "<HTML>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<HEAD>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<BODY>"
strHTML = strHTML & "NEW MESSAGE</br>"
strHTML = strHTML & "<hr>"
strHTML = strHTML & "This is a test message"
strHTML = strHTML & "</BODY>"
strHTML = strHTML & "</HTML>"

'comment the next line if you do not want to see the outlook window
objMailItem.Display
strEmailAddr  = "me at mycompany.com"
objMailItem.Recipients.Add strEmailAddr
objMailItem.Subject = "Hi"
objMailItem.HTMLBody = strHTML
'objMailItem.Attachments.Add "file.xml"
'objMailItem.Send
Set objMailItem = nothing
Set objOutl = nothing
=========================

HTH you,
Mark Stuart
