I have been tasked with creating an intranet site where a user can go to

send a preformatted e-mail to another user.



Using CDONTS I have a page that the user enters their SMPT e-mail address

and the SMPT e-mail address of the recipient and it sends an HTML formatted

e-mail.  <--almost good.  The problem with this is that our users don't know

SMPT addresses of the other employees.



Using CDO I initiate a MAPI session to send the e-mail through Exchange so

the user only needs to enter the Full name of the recipient (exchange then

validates the name)  <-- problem with this is I can't figure out how to send

HTML formatted e-mail.



What I want to accomplish:



User enters their name as well as the recipients name and any comments they

may have.  Then, when they send the e-mail the recipients name is validated

via Exchange and the e-mail arrives in HTML format with a pre-defined

background and layout.



Thanks,
