Create new text mail in Outlook.

[Kraeg]

When creating an e-mail message from VB, is it possible to over-ride the HTML/Text/RTF default format settings for messages using a line of code (perhaps a propery or method)?
Here's my basic current code:

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application&quot

Dim olNs As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olNs = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI&quot
olNs.Logon

Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

olMail.To = "name@server.au"
olMail.Subject = "Test"
olMail.Body = "Testing..."
olMail.Display

The mail format is available through the EditorType property of the Inspector displaying the mail item; unfortunately it's read-only at run-time.

When the mail item is created it will be in the format defined in Tools | Options | Message Format. It can't be changed except in one situation. If you set the item's HTMLBody property to a HTML formatted string, the Inspector's EditorType is automatically changed to olEditorHTML.
