Set the body of the message without losing the formatting

[Samuel]

Hi all

I want to set the body of the message without losing the formatting.
Currently the default appearance (signature and background) of the message
disappears once I set the body.

Any clue of how to deal with that?

Clues would depend on your Outlook version and whether the message is in RTF or HTML format.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba

Outlook version? Word as the editor? And you're trying to do exactly what?

That tells us a little bit about what you're doing. But what you are actually trying to accomplish by doing that? GIve us the big picture.

In the meantime, if you want to work with formatted text, then you need to be working with the HTMLBody property, not Body, and using full HTML tags, as web pages do.
