Hi,

I would like to write a piece of text inside of the message body, using a
certain font,
without losing the rest of the mail.

I tried this using
objItem.Body = "a piece of text" but then I lose all the rest, signature
included.

Using settext and gettext + the clipboard I lose all formatting of the
copied body text.

Is there a way to write a piece of text at the cursor location without
losing all the body text ?

Outlook version? If Outlook 2003 or earlier, is Word the email editor?

You have to use a line like this:

objItem.Body = "a piece of text" & objItem.Body

If you're using the Outlook editor and not the Word editor, then you have to
use different approaches for HTML and RTF messages. For HTML, use
Inspector.HTMLEditor, as demonstrated in the sample at
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1358. For RTF, you'd have to
use the SafeInspector object from the third-party Outlook Redemption
library.
