Thanks for the link. From that link, I take it that the TextBody property does get set for you. So that setting TextBody yourself is not necessary when i am setting HTMLbody.
"If the AutoGenerateTextBody property is set to True (VARIANT_TRUE), the contents of the TextBody property are replaced by the plain text equivalent of the HTMLBody property; that is, the contents with all Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags removed."
>To clarify, HTMBody is converted to TextBody by CDO 2000 itself as described in
