Dragan --

I'm getting kind of lost here. I'm trying to end up with an automated process which will allow me to send an email with the contents of a small Excel spreadsheet inserted into the message (instead of as an attachment).

With Sergey's help, I've been able to read some HTML which I can save into a temp file which Word can open and display properly. That tells me (I think) that I'm extracting the HTML from the clipboard properly.

Then, if I save that as an .HTM file, and send the contents in my email, it appears that my email will arrive looking as desired.

(I don't have all this working yet, so am not sure if it will all work, but it seems like it will).

Granted, these seems circuitous, but, so far, it's the closest I've come.

Or just open it in Notepad (or fox, with modify command) and see how it looks, is there any malformed HTML etc. If you have a real HTML editor with a validator, that'd be even better.
