Send RichTextBox (RTF Text) contents in Outlook email item

  Actually, according to the code you have, I would expect to see the RTF encoding in the resulting message (for example: {adsfadf\;fcharset0...). Just setting the olBodyFormat property is not enough. You need a way to get the RTF content into the message. You have a few options, the popular of which is using the third party library from Redemption: http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formatmsg.htm

  This will give you what you need.

  Hi

  I am trying to get the contents of a RichTextBox , in a new email item using Outlook 2003

  The following code gives me unexpected results !!! , the RTF ecoding is dumped into the email window !

  What I need is to insert the formated text as the body of the email.

  using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

  using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;

  // a part of some class

  private void SendEmailUsingOutLook(string rtfBody)

  {

  Outlook.Application outlookApplication =

  new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application();

  Outlook.MailItem email =

  (Outlook.MailItem)outlookApplication.CreateItem(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);

  email.BodyFormat = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlBodyFormat.olFormatRichText;

  email.Body = rtfBody;

  email.Display(false);

  }

  private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  SendEmailUsingOutLook(this.RichTextBox1.Rtf);

  }

  Is there any way to use the clipboard cut & paste method to accomplish what the initial post was asking I too have a RichTextBox that I simply what to get it's contents into the message.body. If in the code I do a message.display I can manually copy and paste the rich text content into the message body, so couldn't the same thing be done through code

  Can you show how TO paste document in the message.body

  e.g

  Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
  Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
  Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") ' Create the message.
  Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

  Dim objApplication As Word.Application
  Dim objWord As Word.Document
  Set objApplication = New Word.Application
  Set objWord = objApplication.Documents.Open("abcDoc.rtf")
  objWord.Select
  objWord.Range.Copy
  With objOutlookMsg
  .To = strMailTo
  .Subject = "Subject"

  .bodyformat=olFormatRichText
  .BODY = objWord.Content <<< Gives me unformatted text

  message.paste() How to write this

  I have been able before to use the Clipboard t odo a similar thing, I had a word document and need to send its content via email.

  I remember doing somthing like that :

  doc.WholeStory.Copy();

  message.paste();

  I am not sure if this will work with RichTextBox or not ....

  richTextBox1.Copy();

  message.paste();

  I will try to find what I did before,then back again to you soon

  Outlook 98 had an undocumented, unsupported feature that allows you to set the Body property to an RTF string. The page that John suggested describes (few) options for handling RTF content in current versions.
