How do you add Color and Underlining when Creating an email
using VBA ? For an Example I would like to change the Font
to Red Turn Underlining on and then Add some text, and
then turn underlining off and change color to a new color
and resume the body of the email.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Easiest method is to create a fully tagged HTML string
with the text and formatting you want, then set the
HTMLBody property to that string to create an HTML-
formatted message, e.g.:

strText = "<strong>My text</strong>"
objItem.HTMLBody = strText

See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/formatmsg.htm for other
techniques.
