Hi Brian,
You can add it programatically as well.
Once you extract HTML you can read it with
filetostr() and then set resulting string as body of message.
As you already experienced, result will not always be satisfactory
for varous reasons. Next to alignment, you will also notice pagination problem with reports produced as HTML.
As someone adviced here , best results in distributing reports via email
are achieved with PDF reports attached to email. You can have look at XFRX report converter tool here in downloads as it can produce very nice PDF output.
You can also have look at my CodeRep here in downloads (freeware)
for writing coded OOP reports to HTML,PDF,XLS,TXT formats.

>When I first saw the HTML output feature in vfp 9, I thought it would be a great function for sending reports to users. Sending attachments is simple, but I want to be able to embedd the html in the actually message occasionally. However, manually inserting the HTML into Outlook (using insert->file->text from file) offers poor results, and some reports are simply unreadable because the alignment is way off.
