Hi,
I need to assign some default html string to the htmlbody property of
the new mailItem that is being displayed inside an inspector.

Even though I assign the property some value, it is not taking it as
exactly what I assigned. It is getting all the default htmlbody and
rendering the string that I used as HTMLBody property.
I am writing an addin for Outlook2003

Can anyone help me how to resolve the problem.
