Thanks to all (and those that answered in the internet forum)

If anyone was lurking I got some information at the html forum at about.com and thought you might be interested.

In OE.....

1)In the format menu of the new message select rich text.

2)You might now also have to select souce/edit from the view menu.

3)You will now have 3 tabs at the bottom of the new mail screen.
Select the source tab and you can cut and paste in your html code or enter it directly.

That simple.....

To send you will have to re-select the edit tab.
You might also have to set your send option in the options dialog.

Sure did not know all of that existed in OE!
