There are a couple things you might try.

One is to get JMAIL (http://tech.dimac.net), which might let you do this.
I'm not sure.

The other is to dig into programming the message via the MimeOle interface.
Its not a very user friendly method, given the lack of documentation, but
you might get it to work this way.
