CDO question -- generating email messages in HTML format

[CB]

CDO is perhaps the most obscure art in web programming, but I hope someone
would understand my issue. I have an ASP web application that needs to send
email messages in HTML format only -- there is no plain text version. The
messages are summaries of answers that people have input into an online
survey, and need to have a tabular form.

The following somewhat plausible code does not work:

dim OMsg
Set OMsg = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
OMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:return-path") = BounceEmail
OMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type") = "text/html"
OMsg.Fields.Update

The return path header is set as desired, but the content type header
stubbornly defaults to "text/plain". What is the secret to setting that
header?

I have seen lots of code examples on the MSDN site for setting the
content-type of body parts, but it seems needlessly complicated for my
situation and doesn't work on my system anyhow (unknown ProgID error). So I
was hoping to just set the message-level header to "text/html". (If I edit
one of the messages from my script in notepad, changing the header to
text/html by hand, it then is rendered correctly in email clients.)

Suggestions appreciated

I find that is all i have to do

dim OMsg
Set OMsg = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
OMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:return-path") = BounceEmail
OMsg.Fields("urn:schemas:mailheader:content-type") = "text/html"
