I need to be able to automatically send a HTML template in response to
a rule in Outlook 2003.

It seems that for me to do this I need to be able to make a string from
an existing HTML template,
insert a string with the customer's name in the proper section of the
HTML string, then insert the entire string back into the template as
objItem.HTMLBody = strHTML.

Problem is I don't know how to build a string from HTML.

Can anyone offer any suggestions or point me in a direction where I can
find some examples on converting HTML code into a string. I need to
preserve all formatting and hyperlinks.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Bob
