This works for me on the receiving side:
USE employee
Set Textmerge to memvar m.lcMessage noshow
Set textmerge on
\\<HTML><BODY><PRE>
scan
\<<First_name>> | <<Last_Name>> | <<Birth_date>>
EndScan
\</PRE></BODY></HTML>
Set Textmerge to
Set Textmerge off
#include outlook.h
Local oOL as Outlook.Application, oMailItem as Outlook.MailItem
oOL = CreateObject('Outlook.Application')
oMailItem = oOL.CreateItem(olMailItem)
oMailItem.To = "somebody@somewhere.com"
oMailItem.Subject = "Formatted text test"
oMailItem.HTMLBody = m.lcMessage
oMailItem.Send()I said extra spaces because w/o them sending messages here is problematic.

>>Peter,

>>
>>cMyMessage = "My plain text monospaced message ...."
>>cMyMessage = TextMerge('<HTML><BODY>< PRE ><<m.cMyMessage>>< /PRE ></BODY></HTML>')
