Microsoft Outlook adding Hyperlink to Email C#

When sending an e-mail using Microsoft Outlook I want to be able to send a hyperlink of file locations and websites in the body of the e-mail the body in my code is oMsg.Body. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    private void button13_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Send Routing and Drawing to Dan
        // Create the Outlook application by using inline initialization. 
        Outlook.Application oApp = new Outlook.Application();
        //Create the new message by using the simplest approach. 
        Outlook.MailItem oMsg = (Outlook.MailItem)oApp.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem);
        //Add a recipient
        Outlook.Recipient oRecip = (Outlook.Recipient)oMsg.Recipients.Add("email-address here");
        oRecip.Resolve();
        //Set the basic properties. 
        oMsg.Subject = textBox1.Text + " Job Release";
        oMsg.Body = textBox1.Text + " is ready for release attached is the Print and Routing";
        //Send the message. 6
        oMsg.Send();
        //Explicitly release objects. 
        oRecip = null;
        oMsg = null;
        oApp = null;
        MessageBox.Show("Print and Routing Sent");
    }

Using HTML for the Body instead of plain text will allow you to include markup for hyperlinks:

oMsg.HTMLBody = "<html><body>";
oMsg.HTMLBody += textBox1.Text + " is ready for release attached is the Print and Routing";
oMsg.HTMLBody += "<p><a href='http://website.com'>Web Site</a></p></body></html>";

EDIT: Changed Body property to HTMLBody property.

From MSDN, looks like you can set the BodyFormat to olFormatHTML and use the HTMLBody property:

oMsg.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML; // <-- Probably dont need this
oMsg.HTMLBody = "<HTML><BODY>Enter the message text here.</BODY></HTML>";

From the HTMLBody page, it looks like it sets the BodyFormat for you if you use the HTMLBody property, so you should be able to skip setting it.
