Outlook 2010 sets own User-Agent in webbrowser control traffic

[DamianD]

Hi

I have following problem:
I have a plugin which on one of its screens hosts web browser control (IE).
I invoke Navigate method and display sharepoint page for user to interact. It
works fine on outlook 2003 and 2007.
On machine with clean office 2010 RC installation the same web browser
control sends requests with User-Agent: Microsoft Office/14.0 (Windows NT
5.1; Microsoft Outlook 14.0.4734; Pro) which causes Sharepoint into thinking
that this is not IE and therefore sending different html and js - which
breaks this page. On another machine where i performed upgrade from 2007,
user-agent is unchanged (and proper for IE).

My Question: can this somehow be turned off in office 2010 or at least
controlled?

I think you need to post this in one of the Connect groups and to file a bug
on this if you have a reproducible problem.
