Can't say I can do it from Access/Outlook, but I did write a Python script to do it on a Linux server with access to the actual mail server. What I can say is make sure that you format it correctly with all the MIME parts, and don't forget to include a Plain Text part for those that despise HTML mail, such as myself. :) I would send you a couple of links that helped me out when I was doing it, but may laptop HDD crashed Monday morning, causing me to lose all my favourites. Here are a couple anyway that I just dug up from my RSS Reader: http://blogs.sun.com/chienr/entry/plaintext_vs_html_email http://www.bensmawfield.com/blog/?p=6 http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/archives/2007/09/why_we_need_web_standards_supp_1.html -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at gmail.com Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a great ride!"
