Using SendObject to send HTML email with Template

[Muppsy007]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is possible but can't seem to find anything here or on google.

I have a dive club table with a simple form. On this form is a button that when clicked, should open an a new email, with no attachments, but would like it to automatically load a header in the content pane (HTML format).

I have tried this simply by populating a string variable with the html code to do this, then sending it as an argument in the SendObject method.

Here is the code:
[blue]Dim strBody As String

strBody = "<table><tr><td bgcolor=""#020098""><img src=""

http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg""

width=""200"" height=""50""></td></tr></table>"

DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , acFormatHTML, , , , , strBody, True[/blue]

Now this works to a certain extent, Except the HTML is displayed exactly as written on the content pane. A look at the Source of the email reveals that all < have been replaced with &gt; and all > with &lt;

Any Ideas? Note that If i remove the entire <img tag from the string, the table is displayed correctly, color and all. So I assume it has something to do with the double quotes.

Thanks in advance
