Hi

Is .HTMLBody still supported in outlook2002 or has it been blocked by MS?

Thanks

Regards

It works fine in Outlook 2002, but reading it is blocked in Outlook 2003
(not 2002).

HTMLBody is supported in all versions of Outlook beginning with Outlook 98. Starting with Outlook 2003, it is considered one of the properties that may trigger a security prompt (depending on the code environment) when code attempts to read value. No prompt occurs when you set its value.

Hi all - does this mean that if I am sending my e-mails as HTML format from
2000, 2003 users won't be able to read them?

Thanks in advance, Cindy

No, it means that if you try to programmatically read MailItem.HTMLBody
property in Outlook 2003, Outlook will notify the user that a script is
trying to access a blocked property and prompt whether the access should be
allowed or not.

And just to keep it confusing, whether you get a prompt depends on the context where the code is running and whether Exchange server-based security setings are in place.
