Set oRecip = colRecips.Add(whatever)
oRecip.Resolve
If oRecip.Resolved Then
item.Send
' etc.

That would just affect sending however, it wouldn't affect the visibility of
the HTMLBody.

Just asking, but after you exit and restart Outlook are the bodies still
invisible?

Ken,

Thanks. I thought this is the way to do it, but cannot get it to work for
me for some reason. I do all the same.

I wonder if there is some setting in OL that is preventing the save of the
message body? But when I send from inside OL, there is no problem and the
full message is saved in the Sent folder, so do not think it can be an OL
setting.

Not sure what you meant by "resolve the recipients". Don't think this is
my
problem, but could you explain?

Thanks again,
Mark

No idea at this point. I'd suggest backing up and playing with one of the
samples at www.outlookcode.com that sends out HTML messages or formats an
HTMLBody. See if those samples work to eliminate anything local to your
computer setup. If those work then analyze where your code differs to maybe
get some clues as to what's happening.

Ken,

Resolve...of course I realize what that is. I rarely use it because my
emails are programmatically sent using an outside email list, not the
address
book. Sorry, that was a bonehead question. Please ignore.

But sure wish I could figure out why I cannot get the message to show up
in
the sent email item even tho it shows up in the recipient inbox no probem.

Thanks,
Mark
