Michel,

Thanks for the offer, but problem solved. I traced each line generating the code, and a type defined the ultimate body type of the message as "BODY", not "HTMLBody. Silly me.

>>C. Sending the ASCII Text Template = Problem. omsg.Body = m.myASCIItext. After sending a message, when it is read, all of the line feeds and carraige returns are missing!! Right click on the message in Outlook, and I CAN choose view source (but, I am sending ASCII), and I can then see the message the way it was supposed to be read; with the line feeds and carraige returns in the right spot. So I must be doing something fundamentally wrong here in that my sending an ASCII file is not being interpreted (sp?) correctly by Outlook. Any suggestions?
