>>>>>I need to send a customer HTML code in a form of an email message. But I want the code to be rendered in the email message. For example, as you get the Email versions of newsletters, which are created with HTML code and when you receive them you see the fonts, colors, pictures, tables, etc (and not code). I use Outlook 2002 and can't seem to figure out how to do it. If I just type the HTML code in the body of the message (even if the format of the message is HTML) the recipient sees the HTML code and not rendered version.

>>In Express, Rich Text(HTML) is the option, If you just see HTML, it is the same thing. You can use the built in editor for HTML, but I suggest using Express since you can edit the actual source code of the message. Thus allowing you to enter the HTML code.

Entering that code in the body is like entering html code into a frontpage design view. The editor will automaticallly recode your input to html text.
i.e. < will become < in the actual message sent.
I have only seen in Express the ability to edit the message code. not in Outlook.

You can also write your own application to accomplish this rather simply.

To send emails from your own program, you can read an article that i wrote.
