I have a VBA script in an excel file that will generate an email.
My problem is setting the font in the email.

This code works:
Code:
strbody = "****** style=font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial>Hello.</BODY>"

This code does not work:
Code:
strbody = "****** style=font-size:11pt;font-family:Segoe UI Symbol>Hello.</BODY>"

The only different is the font-family now has spaces in its name.

How do I choose fonts with spaces in their names?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Like this:

Code:
' Outlook module
Sub CreateHTMLMail()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application, objMail As MailItem, strbody$
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
strbody = "[SIZE=3]" & _
"Text Line 1" & "
" & "Text Line 2" & "[/SIZE]"
With objMail
    .BodyFormat = olFormatHTML
    .HTMLBody = "******>My text" & strbody
    .Display
End With
End Sub

Put single quotes (apostrophes) around the style attribute:
Code:
style='font-size:11pt;font-family:Segoe UI Symbol'
