Edit email using powershell and retain the HTML format

Hi I am trying to edit the HTML email template using powershell which has some pictures and colours. I need to edit and replace some content in email and retain the html body. When i try the below script it's converting to text format 

$file= 'FILE PATH '
$outlook= New-Object -ComObject outlook.application
$msg= $outlook.createitemfromtemplate($file)
$msg.body= $msg.body -replace "December\d*", "TEST$a"
$msg.saveas($file)

I was having the same issue than I used $mail.Save() after replacing de part I want on html body than everything worked. Without saving before sending I got an text message rather than html.

You need to use HTMLBody and not body. Because you are telling it to use plane text in the email rather than HTML. Hope this helps.

$file= 'C:\Temp\template.msg'
$outlook= New-Object -ComObject outlook.application
$msg= $outlook.createitemfromtemplate($file)
$msg.HTMLbody = $msg.HTMLbody.Replace("color2", "color")
$msg.saveas($file)
#$file | ConvertTo-Html #if needed
