Visual Basic Code to Send Outlook eMail

Yeah. So. Gotta little bug here. Can anyone tell me how to force Outlook to send a message formatted as plain text instead of in the user’s default format in VB? The only information I can find is about the OlEditorType, but that is apparently read-only unless I force the mail object to have HTMLBody true. It’s not an emergency, or even important. It’s just really annoying me.

Dim myOLApp As outlook.Application, myItem As outlook.MailItem
Set myOLApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.Application”)
Set myItem = myOLApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)

    The short answer – you can’t.
    The long answer – use CDO or MAPI. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q222248 for the full info.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
