I'm starting a new task and wanted to solicit suggestions in case someone has already done something similar. I'm not looking for anyone to do my work. I just don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I need to format the body of an Email in Outlook 2002, no attachments. I've got examples of mail merges, exporting Excel, writing directly to the body of an Email to start with. The problem I need to deal with is the body of the Email needs to be dynamic and the format has been dictated by someone else.

It needs to look something like this:

Appointment Confirmations

Appt Appt
Date Time Claimant Claim # Doctor
10/26/200 10:00 AM Smith,John 12345 Dr. Smith

Report Confirmations

Appt Appt
Date Time Claimant Claim # Doctor
10/26/200 10:00 AM Smith,John 12345 Dr. Smith

Addendum Confirmations
Appt Appt
Date Time Claimant Claim # Doctor

10/26/200 10:00 AM Smith,John 12345 Dr. Smith

I can't show it here but items are underlined, bold, and italicized. There can be many detail lines for each category or none.

Right now I'm testing formatting a richtextbox and pasting it into the Email. It works but it seems very cumbersome. I'm considering trying HTML but I've never used it before.

Suggestions or links to projects would be appreciated.

Thanks!
