Hi there,

I've found a way to insert an html-file into the body of an email using a vba-macro.
Now I would like to change the background colour of this email so that the html stands out better.
Any idea how to do this in the same macro ?

Kind regards, Andy
 
You can write the color into almost any html tag. This set the color on body tag by using css:
Code:
<body style='background-color:#efefef;'>...</body>
 
Thanks for your reply but it is not html I want to change but the background of the email itself.
The background of the html is white so I want the background of the email to be greyish so that the html stands out better.
I would likt to insert the necessary vba code into the code I use to insert the html file.
Can you help for this also ?
 
See the previous suggestion, it changes the background color of the entire body.

The HTML is the message body - you'd need to insert the HTML file into a table if you wanted to have a two-tone email page. If you just want to change the HTM from white to gray, you need to use either the HTML file first or use the body tag.
