Outlook Calender body no HTML (RichEdit control??? RTF or Plaintex

[Paul van de Louw]

We have a problem showing a HTML body in an Accept / Reject mail message. I
have read on a forum that a HTML body is not supported because the calender
responses are shown using the "RichEdit" control in Outlook. This control
can only show RTF or plaintext. When I view the source of the message in
Outlook 2007
I see a comment line stating a transformation from the original body to a
RTF body.

I am unable to find this in the MSDN documentation, can someone tell me if
I'm correct?

Care to describe the "problem"? What type of account are you using?
Does the same thing happen if you start Outlook in safe mode? (Hol
Ctrl when you start Outlook.

We are running outlook under an Administrator account.
I don't think it is a permission issue. I think Oultook isn't simply capable
of showing HTML reply messages of calender type.
Outlook can show HTML mesages but they have a different contentType.

When Outlook is displaying a message of content type "calendar/text" the
body of the message is transformed to a Rich text format version. No HTML.

My question is this: Is it correct that the body of calender content type
does not support the HTML but only supports plain text or rich text format?

With kind regards,
