Help Sending an HTML Outlook Message using Outlook UDf

HighlanderSword · December 5, 2010

Hello,

I'm trying to use the outlook UDF to send an html message , I used Frontpage to create the HTML and then

added it into the Script, howwever when the email is sent it does not arrive as HTML

Below is exactly how the body of the email is whne it is received:

<html><head><meta http-equiv='Content-Language' content='en-us'><meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=windows-1252'><title>New Page 1</title></head><body><a href='file:///c:/versions.xlsx'>c:\versions.xlsx</a> </body></html>

Below is the code snippet, can someone please advise what I'm doing wrong ?

#Include "C:\Outlook.au3"

Local $oOutlook, $iresult

$oOutlook = _OutlookOpen()

$body ="<html>"

$body = $body & "<head>"

$body = $body & "<meta http-equiv='Content-Language' content='en-us'>"

$body = $body & "<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=windows-1252'>"

$body = $body & "<title>New Page 1</title>"

$body = $body & "</head>"

$body = $body & "<body>"

$body = $body & "<a href='file:///c:/versions.xlsx'>c:\versions.xlsx</a>"

$body = $body & " "

$body = $body & "</body>"

$body = $body & "</html>"

$iResult= _OutlookSendMail($oOutlook, "paul.schrader@domain.com", "", "", "test", $body,"",$olFormatHTML)

msgbox(0,"Outlook SendMail","Returncode: " & $iResult)

There seems to be a bug in the Outlook UDF. Could you change line 425 in function _OutlookSendMail from

$oMessage.Body = $sBody

to

If $iBodyFormat = $olFormatHTML Then
    $oMessage.HTMLBody = $sBody
Else
    $oMessage.Body = $sBody
EndIf

and give it a try? Edited December 5, 2010 by water

Glad it works now!

I'm not the owner of the Outlook UDF. It's WoolTown. He has the intention to enhance the UDF and at the moment he's collecting ideas on the UDF's "

So if anything is missing post there and it might be included.
