Hi, Matthew.
I can't see enough of your screenshot to confirm which message composition mode is your default, however, if it happens to be HTML (it will display at the end of the window title as shown in the example below) then you need to populate the HTMLBody property, not the Body property - per your current example.

Hey Lain,
I have tried both properties and then both come up blank.

Did you assign HTML content to that attribute?
$Mail.HTMLBody = "<html><body>Please Double Check The Vendors Email Address And Then Enter It Again</body></html>";Cheers,

Yeah I tried that. I even used ConvertTo-Html and set that as the Body and piped it to a variable and then added the variable to the htmlbody property.
Two random quick mentions as afterthoughts:
- Your code sample features smart quotes around the HTMLBody string value, which may be a non-issue if they're only in this web content (but they would be an issue if they're somehow really in your PowerShell code);
- If your template is HTML-based and has already got a value for HTMLBody, then you'd want to be sure that the text you're adding either fully replaces the existing value or that you're inserting it correctly into the existing string block, as if things like tags don't match or free text exists outside of allowable boundaries, it won't render.
But again, these are just afterthoughts and may have no relevance to your test at all.
