Using the outlook object model I can create an email and apply the HTMLBody property to change fonts / colors in my code like so:

VB Code:
  1. Set EmailApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")    'using the outlook object

  2.             Set NameSpace = EmailApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

  3.             Set EmailSend = EmailApp.CreateItem(0)

  4.             EmailSend.Subject = "SOMT Updated Deliverables"

  5.             EmailSend.HTMLBody = "<HTML><CENTER><FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=3 COLOR=BLUE><B>JAK - SOMT</B></FONT><BR> <FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=3 COLOR=RED><I>Deliverables Updated!</I></FONT></CENTER><BR><FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=2>The following task was assigned to you: " & rsTask!Task & ".  The SOMT Tracking ID of this Service Order is:<B> " & rsTask!RecordID & "</B><BR><BR>" & _

  6.                            "Your deliverables have been recently updated to the following: " & "<BR><UL>"

  7.                 Do While Not rsSubTask.EOF

  8.                      EmailSend.HTMLBody = EmailSend.HTMLBody & "<LI><I>" & rsSubTask!DeliverableDescription & "</I></LI><BR>"

  9.                      rsSubTask.MoveNext

  10.                 Loop

  11.             EmailSend.HTMLBody = EmailSend.HTMLBody & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "</UL>Thank You - <FONT COLOR=BLUE><B>JAK SOMT</B></FONT><BR><BR>Questions, Comments, or Concerns?  Contact the <A HREF=mailto:[email protected]>SOMT-Admin</A></FONT></HTML>"

  12.             EmailSend.Recipients.Add (rsTask!RespPerson & "@tkt-jakusa.thyssenkrupp.com")

  13.             EmailSend.Send

  14.             MsgBox "An e-mail has been sent to " & rsTask!RespPerson & " with their updated Deliverables.", vbInformation, "E-Mail Sent"


Fine and dandy...if I use the outlook object model and create a task: i.e:

VB Code:
  1. Set NameSpace = EmailApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

  2.     Set EmailSend = EmailApp.CreateItem(3)  '3 is a task

There is no HTMLBody...and the text remains plain. The thing is I need to be able to use bold only on some of the text in the task.
How can I use Bold only in some portions of the task if there is no HTMLBody property?

Thanks,
Jon
