There is a requirement to open a outlook screen on click of the button/link. This opened outlook window should have a pre-filled message body text which is in tabular format.
There are various solutions on Stack Overflow which open outlook window with E-Mail Body in plain text format. Unfortunately we could not find any solution where the outlook window opens the Mail Body in HTML format (for e.g. HTML Table).

The desktop edition of Outlook uses Word as an editor for message bodies. You can find supported and unsupported HTML elements, attributes, and cascading style sheets properties in the Word HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook article.
I'm trying to create an Outlook Add-In that will forward the selected mail message as an attachment when the button is pressed. Preferably this will work both for the Outlook Client, and Outlook Web Access. To do this, I need to add a button to the main UI in Outlook which shows the list of messages.
However, within the new Add-In format, I don't see an ExtensionPoint for Outlook that allows adding a button to the main mail UI.

There are options for the MessageRead pane or the MessageCompose pane, but I don't see anything for the general overview.
However, the following New Feature complains that multiple mail items can't be selected with the add-in syntax, which seems to imply that a single mail item can be selected. If a single mail item can be selected, then that implies that there is a way to add a button to the overview mail page since that's the only place mail can be selected.
This makes me think it is possible to do this, but I'm not sure how.
Can someone please point me to how this might be done?
NOTE: I am NOT trying to create a COM plugin. That is the old format and I've noticed they're increasingly less reliable in Outlook 2016. I am trying to use the new format.
The MessageReadCommandSurface and MessageComposeCommandSurface extension points for Outlook applies to both the main Outlook window (the Explorer) and the item (Inspector) windows. The Explorer Ribbon buttons activate when an email is selected, so the buttons interact on the selected email. So you don't have to do anything if you've already defined those extension points.
I am looking to develop an Office content add-in for PowerPoint. The purpose of this add-in is to embed HTML(an iframe) into a slide. Something similar to Web Video Player.
Looking at the docs, the way you would implement this is via Document.setSelectedDataAsync, however the HTML coercion type is not supported in PowerPoint.
Is there another way to insert/embed HTML content into PowerPoint, seeing as the add-in linked above is able to do it?
Web video player shows the HTML directly in the content pane for the add-in instead of inserting it into the document. For example, you could use something like:
document.body.innerHTML = myCustomSlideHTML;
-Michael (developer of Web Video Player)
I've been trying to find some way how to tweak the Windows registry to detect custom text in Outlook email bodies and use it as hyperlinks.
For example, if text "CID:123456" is used in an email body, it will be automatically detected and transformed into the following hyperlink and therefore opened in a default browser:
https://domain.com/cgi-bin/wwwcompas?prodid=123456&dformat=pdf
Any hints how to do that?
I am trying to create an email signature in outlook 2010 with the company logo embedded.
As i am working my way trough this, i find it very strange that the included image is sent as an attachment.
It doesn't show as attachment on Outlook from other users. But it does on Mac, hotmail and so on..
I have already tried to include it via HTML, thus placing the image on a FTP and loading it from there, and i have tried including it trough the signature editor, both won't make it work..
Is there a code to make this function?
Why do you find it strange that the image is included as an attachment? Without it, there is no way for the recipient to view the image, as the email itself is text only. I imagine the only reason it doesn't show as an attachment in outlook is because outlook is smart enough to know that it's not a "real attachment" per se, but just the signature. Even then, I remember recieving signature images as attachments in older versions of outlook.
That said, it should be possible to use a linked image in your signature. This link explains how to do it.
Creating an Outlook signature with an image or picture located on the Internet requires changing Outlook’s behavior on how to deal with linked images and also adding the image in a specific way. Once the image is inserted, you can use the Signature Editor to turn the image into a hyperlink to a website.
Set Outlook to link to pictures instead of embedding them
The first step is to change Outlook’s behavior on how to deal with linked pictures. By default Outlook will embed them with the message, but this would mean that your picture would be a reflection of when you created the message instead of when the the recipient is reading (or even re-reading) your message.
Depending on how often you change your picture, this might be a non-issue but it would also mean that the picture gets added each time and thus making each message quite a bit larger. In several cases this could also result in your picture being added as an attachment and/or show the message with a paperclip icon.
These are all things that you should want to avoid; if not for you, then definitely for the recipient’s sake.
In Outlook 2003 and previous you can change this behavior via;
Tools-> Options…-> tab Mail Format-> button Internet Format-> option: When an HTML message contains pictures located on the Internet , send a copy of the pictures instead of the reference to their location.
In Outlook 2007 and 2010, this can behavior can only be changed via the Registry.
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\\Outlook\Options\Mail
Value name; Send Pictures With Document
Value: 0
For more info about this registry key see; Where did "HTML options" go in Outlook 2007/2010?
Insert image as link
When inserting the image into your signature, you must again make sure that the image is linked. If you do not do this, then the current image will be downloaded and saved within your signature and wouldn’t update when you change it on-line.
Outlook 2003
Right click in the Signature Editor (do not use Advanced Edit) and choose; Insert Image…
Type the Internet address (URL) to the image in full when prompted for the Picture Source.
Click OK
Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010
Click on the Picture icon in the Signature Editor
As the file name, type the Internet address (URL) to the image in full.
Instead of clicking on Insert, click on the little down arrow on the Insert button and choose; Link to File
Create a hyperlink
Once the image has been added, you can make it clickable and point it to a website via the the Hyperlink function.
Outlook 2003
Right click on the inserted image and choose; Edit Hyperlink
Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010
Select the image and click on the Hyperlink icon
It seems to be more a matter of how the client displays it. Different clients are going to deal with the image in different ways, especially from a security standpoint. Have you tried linking to an image directly from the Web?
