Redemption and using an HTML mail template

[Ian Ramsey via OfficeKB.com]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem using Redemption to send a message created from an existing HTML mail template in Outlook 2002. The code is given below. You can ignore the first chunk and the assigning of the recipient's address - that all works for the standard Outlook mail item which can be displayed correctly. It's when I come to reference the newly-created SafeMailItem to the reply message right at the end that I get the error message "Object variable or With block variable not set". I'm a newbie at Outlook VBA and Redemption so please forgive me if I've missed something simple. Many thanks in advance for any help here.
