What's the best way to push HTML into a new e-mail Body (OUTLOOK / VSTO)

I have been able to setup a VSTO C# addin for Outlook which has a button on the "new mail" dialog (custom group on the "Message" Tab) and the button loads a form with a webview, which can pass back information to the add-in.

However I'm not sure how to pass in HTML into the new mail window now, to get started I just want the code to put "Hello World" into the body of the email - I've done a bit of googling on this and found nothing - any ideas?

at the moment I have the JS on the webpage running a callback on the Addin, and just doing a MessageBox.Show() but I need to figure out how to pass HTML email back based on what was selected on the webpage, but I'm sure if I can figure out just how to put HTML text into the body that will get me started.

any help on this is much appreciated.

You can either set the MailItem.HTMLBody property or use Inspector.WordEditor (returns Word's Document object) to manipulate the body content. Inspector is returned either from MailItem.GetInspector or Application.ActiveInspector.
