Dear Marcia,

I know that MAPI does not use an email server, what I meant is the MAPI server you are using; as far as I understand, when you send a message through MAPI you have to use a program (Outlook, Eudora, ...) that acts as the MAPI server for your messages. Excuses if I'm wrong in the terminology.

I have not read the MSDN article that you mention. The code I posted works fine under Eudora only (all you have to do is send through the MAPI control a string with the HTML code, all tags included). I have tried it today with Outlook with no luck.

Regards,
Javier Borrajo.
