Using Gecko - Loading a local file or memorystream

Sick of the bloat that comes with my normal email client (I use
postbox) and more importantly the number of times it freezes I went
looking for another client.


 I have tried all of the clients out there and none give me quite what
I need, I therefore decided to write my own.


I have it working quite well, it is very quick and reliable,  but I
have come across a problem I can't figure out,I hope someone can
advise.

I use THTmlviewer to display html emails, but it doesn't display very
well, I'd like to use Gecko but can't figure out how to load a local
file, or better still a memorystream.

LoadURI doesn't allow me to do this, can anyone advise of a way around
this ?

Try

GeckoBrowser1.LoadURI('file:///C:/Users/fileName.htm')

Thank you so much  for your reply, I had tried that and failed, I must
have made a typo as your solution works.


That gives me a workaround solution, ideally though I would like to
display the html from the email directly into the browser.

I pull the html content from the email and store it in a variable
(using synapse), at the moment I then load it into THTMLViewer.

Here is the code I use :-

HTMLViewer.LoadFromString (FullHTMLMessage, ''); 


Does anyone know of a way to do this using gecko ?
