The ShellAPI to do this is pretty much a lucky hack that the OS provides to feed data to another program via parameters.
If you want to build sophisticated emails with HTML content and attachments you need to use an SMTP client to send emails.
Something like wwSmtp will do the trick:

Hi,
I am working with the ShowEmail Function. It works when a simple text string is passed as the Email Body.
I have an HTML Report generated via the VFP Report Listener saved as a .HTM file on disk.
My goal is to embed this report into the Email Body, but having no luck.
I'm using this approach: lcBody = FILETOSTR("HTMLFilePath")
ShowEmail(lcReceipient, lcSubject, lcBody)
When I use the above ShowEmail Command with lcBody set to the HTMLReport string, the Email Client never displays. Is there a way (correct way) to embed the HTML Report into the email body?
