Selection is a collection. If you want just one item, you can specify the index number. If you want multiple items, you loop through the collection with a For Each ... Next loop.

If you have Outlook set to include the original message text in the reply, it should already be there, even when you generate the reply with the Reply method.

Remember this is HTML! What you add needs to use HTML tags, not normal string techniques. Also, you need to insert into the <body> element; you can't just append text to an HTML documents. I don't have a good code sample to demonstrate this, but will see about putting one together.

Forget about "there must be a way" when it comes to Outlook, unless you're willing to work hard to develop workarounds. See the thread on "VBA code to insert signature on e-mail" in this group starting 1/17.
