Body takes only a plain text string, no formatting. For an HTML message, set HTMLBody to the fully tagged HTML content, e.g. from an .htm file. For RTF, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formatmsg.htm for various options.

Do you also have Word 2003 installed?

Here's a better way to create a message with the Word document contents as the message body:

Dim env as Office.MsoEnvelope = oDoc.ActiveDocument.MailEnvelope
Dim oItem as Outlook.MailItem
oItem = CType(env.Item, Outlook.MailItem)
With oItem
'Set the recipient for the new email
.To = mRecipient

'Set the recipient for a copy
.CC = "

'Set the subject
.Subject = mSubject

' next statement will trigger security prompt
.Send()
End With

The message format will always be HTML automatically.
