Hello everyone!


First post and it's a problem!


I am developing a VBA / VSTO script that interacts with Outlook.


I have a process that should, essentially, do this:

1. Read in an .oft file that is in Rich Text Format
2. Parse the RTFBody array into a String
3. Replace some elements of the String (so a line that says "%SUBJECT%" will instead be "IMPORTANT MEETING")
4. Convert that String back into the RTF array format (this uses a Rich Text Box)
5. Replace the RTFBody with the updated RTF array
6. Display the finished email

This is all done. Except the finished email is just RTF garbage with no formatting.



So what is meant to be a lovely table is instead this:
(You can imagine the rest.)


Does anyone have any awareness of what the solution to this problem is?


And before anyone suggests HTML... I would love to! But this is an AppointmentItem so it doesn't support HTMLBody.
