Using DHTML and Outlook

Hi,

I'm currently writing a VB e-mail program using Outlook. I have got everything sorted except the main body text. Does any one know how I can have this in HTML format. Loading it from a file or whatever.

Here's my current code:

Dim p_ExpressApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim p_Mail As MailItem

Set p_ExpressApp = New Outlook.Application
Set p_Mail = p_ExpressApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

With p_Mail
.Display
.To = "[email protected]"
End With

Set p_ExpressApp = Nothing
Set p_Mail = Nothing

I can however add my htlm text as an attachment, p_mail.attachment.add "c:\test.html".

I really need it as the main body, i.e. p_mail.body = "string"

any clues anyone,

Thanks in advance,

Paul
