    -- We want to build a multipart/alternative email, where the 1st alternative body
    -- is text/plain, the 2nd is text/x-amp-html, and the last is text/html.
    -- (Some email clients will only render the last MIME part, so we recommend placing the text/x-amp-html MIME part before the text/html MIME part.)

    -- First create a plain-text email body:
    EXEC sp_OAMethod @email, 'AddPlainTextAlternativeBody', @success OUT, 'Hello World in plain text!'

    -- Now add the text/x-amp-html.

    EXEC sp_OAMethod @email, 'SetTextBody', NULL, @sTmp0, 'text/x-amp-html'

    -- Now add an HTML body..

    EXEC sp_OAMethod @email, 'GetMime', @sTmp0 OUT
