HTMLBody and Body for MailItem

I am facing a problem getting HTML body for emails through the InspectorWindow. My requirement is to extract the Text part and HTML part of the same email.

mailItem.HTMLBody shoudl give me HTML formatted Mail, but returns empty string
mailItem.Body shoudl give me the Body Text, without HTML formatting, but it returns the HTMLBody

However, when I check the same properties in Outlook through VBA, it works perfectly, so most likely I am missing something that I am overlooking...

This is my VBA code:
Debug.Print Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Body
Debug.Print Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.HTMLBody

In both the above tests, the same HTML message was used, which resides in my Drafts folder.

Just out of curiosity, In Outlook VBA, I see a property called "MailItem.BodyFormat" that returns the Body type = text/html/rtf.. Could not get property to show up in .NET?

Please help!

Hi Samir.

For some reason I can't reproduce the issue. I get the Body as well as HTMLBody without any problems in Outlook 2003. Are you sure that the email is created in HTML format?

I suppose you use Outlook 2003. If so, you need to use PIAs for Outlook 2003.
