HTML and MAPI

Well, of course .html is simply text, so you don't have to do anything special. But I assume you want the .html to be displayed . One way to do that is to send the HTML text as file attachment and when the receiver opens the attachment it will display using whatever program is set to display .htm files. However when it comes to dispaying the actual message as html, here's what OUTLOOK 2002 has to say about message formats:
"In most cases, you don't need to change the message format. When you send an HTML message to others whose mail program doesn't understand HTML, their mail program automatically displays a plain text version in the message body. When you send an RTF formatted message over the Internet, Outlook converts it to HTML by default. If the Internet-bound message is a task or meeting request, Outlook automatically converts it to iCal format, a common format for Internet calendar items, so that other e-mail programs can understand it. When you reply to a message, Outlook automatically uses the format the message was created in (except in the case of an RTF message sent over the Internet, as noted previously). "
I don't know if this applies to earlier versions of OUTLOOK and other e-mail programs or not.
