VB6 Outlook extension: Unable to edit mailitem.htmlbody

by aguyd21 <aguyd@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jul 31, 2008 at 10:32 AM

Below is a snippet of code called during a mailitem reply event
trigger (there is a "with email" statement earlier, where email is an
outlook.mailitem):

Dim errdata As String
errdata = CStr(.BodyFormat) & " " & olFormatHTML
errdata = errdata & " " & CStr(Len(.HTMLBody))
12  .HTMLBody = "<html><body>foo</body></html>"
errdata = errdata & " " & CStr(Len(.HTMLBody))
13  .HTMLBody = "<html><body>foobarbash</body></html>"
errdata = errdata & " " & CStr(Len(.HTMLBody))
MsgBox errdata

The output of this is 2 2 2241 2241 2241 .  Clearly .HTMLBody is
ignoring my attempts to change it's value, but why is this the case?
Any help is appreciated.
