SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a meeting request by using an Exchange Web Services (EWS) application in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment. The body of the meeting request is in HTML format.
  • You send the meeting request.
  • An attendee opens the meeting request by using Microsoft Outlook in online mode.
In this scenario, the body of the meeting request is in plain text format instead of HTML format. This may cause the content of the message to be rendered improperly.
