Hi Zoe,
The other way to do it is to use the XSLT Transform pipeline component
from
the BizTalk SDK. The sample in the SDK does just that, you send your XML
message to the pipeline and in the the component transforms it into HTML
base
on an xslt file before passing it on to the SMTP adapter. You could use it
as
a starting point.

The sample exists in the SDK since BizTalk 2004 so you'll find it in the
version you're using (unless you're on 2002!).
