Hi Jignesh I already managed to create Email Processor with Outlook Application using Templates. (Nice One). But outlook has disadvantages. 1. Sometimes you need to press send/receive for the application o download messages. 2. I also need to be logged in in order for the processor to work. After a long power interruption boom! you're in a mess. In addition it is better to create a processor running in service. Still hopping to get some help from here.

Thanks for the quick reply. I already tried sending in an .mht extension email was not readable in outlook or any mail client. What I am after with is to send a email in template that includes images and can be modified easily in outlook.

unfortunately i don't think there's a way to do that without using Outlook application since oft templates are specific to outlook only... hope you get a better response!
