I am programatically generating HTML for the bodies of e-mails; they contain BOLD and ITALIC text and A Hyperlink

How can I import, paste, or otherwise get such text into an email so it's interpreted correctly so the links work and it doesn't look like this:

 ...contain <strong>BOLD<strong> and <em>ITALIC</em> text and <a href="http//some.site.com/">A Hyperlink</a>

Seems like this should be easy but I can't find anything related on the 'net.  Getting it into Outlook can be done by hand. (or a macro?)

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn't work.  Chosing 'insert as text' does just that - the message has raw html text and you see "<strong>", "<a href===", etc.  You don't get bolded text or hyperlinks that can be clicked.

What I need is a way to "insert as HTML",, not as text
