Positioning and size of attachments & body text in outlook

[Richard Buttrey]

I have some VBA code which loops through a list of Excel files,
attaches them to an Outlook email and sends them.

Everything works fine except that I'd like a bit more control over
where the file attachments and the Body text are placed.

The default seems to be the files first - horizontally as the first
'line' of the email, followed immediately underneath by the text of
the "Body Text' Parameter. I'd also like to be able to alter the size
of the embedded file 'icon' since the default size truncates the name
of the file and makes it difficult to see at a glance.

I can see that the

..Attachments.Add

has various parameter like Type, Position, Display Name etc., although
Im not altogether clear how to use these.

All help gratefully received.

The placement depends on the message format. RTF shows attachments inline (and it incompatible with non-Outlook recipients). HTML and plain text in a separate little pane. You cannot change the icon size, AFAIK.
