Returns or sets an OlBodyFormat constant indicating the format of the body text. Read/write.
expression. BodyFormat
expression A variable that represents a MailItem object.
The body text format determines the standard used to display the text of the message. Microsoft Outlook provides three body text format options: Plain Text, Rich Text (RTF), and HTML.
All text formatting will be lost when the BodyFormat property is switched from RTF to HTML and vice-versa.
The following Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example creates a new MailItem object and sets the BodyFormat property to olFormatHTML. The body text of the email item will now appear in HTML format.
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
'Creates a new email item and modifies its properties.
Dim objMail As MailItem
'Create mail item
Set objMail = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objMail
'Set body format to HTML
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><H2>The body of this message will appear in HTML.</H2><BODY>Type the message text here. </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
End Sub[!includeSupport and feedback]
