How to use html in asp classic email object body?

I want to use html in my email body in my classic asp code. This is code:

Dim objCDO
Set objCDO = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objCDO.To = "[email protected]"
objCDO.From = "[email protected]"
objCDO.Subject = "Test Subject"
objCDO.Body = "<html><head></head><body><b>There has been a change.</b></body></html>"
objCDO.Send

However when I view the email, the body looks exactly like this string, with all the tags. I want the tags to be rendered and make the text bold.

Does anyone know whats wrong?

Thanks.

If you're using CDONTS then you need to add another couple of parameters to your object 

objCDO.BodyFormat=0
objCDO.MailFormat=0

See this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189945

That said, CDOSYS was introduced on Win 2000 and CDONTS was removed completely from Win 2003, so I recommend you use CDOSYS, (unless you're on a really old NT box). Creating HTML emails is also rather easier

The w3schools tutorial is quite good http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp
