It is straightforward to use Apache Commons via JLink to get your own customizable SendMail function. http://code.gluonvision.com/SendEmail/summary -- Dr. Rolf Mertig GluonVision GmbH http://www.mertig.com Berlin, Germany On Dec 18, 8:35 am, "Ernst H.K.

Unluckily, one can only send plain text in the text body. He= nce the text cannot be formatted in any way. In the documentation it say= s explicitely: "SendMail automatically embeds graphics and typeset expressi= ons as raster image files. It embeds sounds as audio files. It also embeds = symbolic XML as XML files." This also applies to "Body". My question = is, has anybody found a workaround, i.e. to be able to send the email as HT= ML instead of Plain Text (Outlook lingo)?
