You can use the macro snippet in an Outlook VBA procedure to create a new message and load your HTML into it:
Sub MakeHTMLMsg()
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.htm", 1)
strText = ts.ReadAll
objMsg.HTMLBody = strText
objMsg.Display
Set fso = Nothing
Set ts = Nothing
Set objMsg = Nothing
End Sub
Once you have the message displayed you can use the Save As command to save it as an .oft file.
Note, however, that your HTML may or may not be suitable for an email message. You should to test it thoroughly with a variety of receiving email applications.
