CDO - HTML formatted - ASP / Active Server Pages

Niel

Hello friends,
Don't know if i am posting to the right group, but if anyone has an idea
about this please let me know.

I just wanted to ask that is it true that it is not possible to send HTML
Formatted emails from ASP through CDO. (CDOSYS).
I mean I am able to send the email which is HTML formatted through CDONTS
that sends email through Virtual SMTP server and i get a proper looking
email.
But when i tried same in CDO then all i got in email was not the email but
the code of the email.
So do i have to specify some extra parameter in it like in CDONTS while
sending HTML formatted email i am setting the format as below

ObjMail.BodyFormat = 0
ObjMail.MailFormat = 0

or the facility is only not available. The reason i am being very curious is
because CDO 1.2 has lots of more features then CDONTS and so i can't believe
that after have being a superset its could just be lagging in this aspect.

Thanks

Untrue.
sBody = "<html><head><title>An E-mail from
Niel</title></head><body><strong>HEY!</strong></body></html>"
ObjMail.HtmlBody = sBody

Thanks for the reply.
May be i was doing something wrong or may be have missed a quote due to
which i was getting the raw format /code in email.
