Alan,
I would remove the save() line and see what happens...HMTLBody is the appropriate property for you to place the HTML. I have never had a problem seeing the HTML message in "Sent Items" folder from within Outlook. Do you have problems viewing HTML emails you receive?
Also, you can use the < pre> tag here to display HTML code:
>I am using OLE automation with VFP and Outlook to create emails from VFP data using something like the code below...
>
>* -----------------------------
>
>
>lcHTMLString = [<html><body>Hello <b>world!</b></body></html>]
>
>oOutlook = CREATOBJECT('Outlook.application')
>oItem = oOutlook.createitem(0)
>
>WITH oItem
> .recipients.add(emailaddress)
> .subject = "MySubject"
> .HTMLBody = lcHTMLString
> * .save()
> .send()
>ENDWITH
>* ----------------------------->
>If I select to send the emails immediately they are generated, the received emails look fine, but if I try to view the sent version (ie. the message stored in the 'out-tray'), the body of the email is blank! Is this because I have used the .HTMLBody property instead of .body?

>I originally did use oItem.body to store the message, and that worked fine, until I needed to line-up some data halfway through the message and use a non-proportional font. Placing
and in the text string did not work - it output literally, that's why I resorted to an HTML string solution.
