I don't quite understand what you are asking.  A message part is either 
text/plain or text/html.  The subject is one of the headers, and headers 
do not have their own content-type.

Outlook will create the Content-Type headers automatically, based on the 
format of the body that you pass.  If you set the MailItem.BodyFormat to 
olFormatHTML, it will send the body as text/html.  If you set it to 
olFormatPlain, it will send the body as text/plain.  There's also an 
olFormatRichText that has fallen out of favor.
