title: Using HTML tags in the Email body while composing a mail in VB.Net to be sent via Outlook
body: <p>I am sending an email through Outlook using VB.Net code.</p>
  
  <p>The syntax for creating the body of the message is: <code>oMsg.Body="string here"</code></p>
  
  <p>However, the message I am sending is more like: <code>oMsg.Body="Dear" &amp; &lt;database value&gt; &amp; ", you need to pay up" &amp; &lt;database value&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>I would like to change the color of the line of text and so used <code>oMsg.HTMLBody</code>, as I had seen elsewhere that we can use HTML tags to format the text. When I used the <code>&lt;font&gt;</code> tag, it didn't even recognise it, but when I used <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;p&gt;</code>, it immediately recognised and applied the tags as well.</p>
  
  <p>What could I be doing wrong? How can I apply the tag to include the database values as well? Please let me know. Thanks!</p>
