Ken-

Thanks for your input.

I went back and looked at the way it worked in Outlook2k3 and see the
same thing happening there like you said. Between this change in
Outlook 2k7 and bad design on our part, we're going to have to redesign
a fairly large portion of our system to deal with the changes to 2k7.

I don't know if I should thank Microsoft for creating job security for
me, or stab some people in the eye with a plastic spork for making
development a nightmare. I just wish you could atleast make image maps
work!

Either way, thank you for your insight.

When the Send event is fired Outlook will change the HTML unfortunately.
It's part of the repagination process that goes on when send is called and
the item is sent to the mail transport.

That happened even in WordMail 2003 but the limitations on HTML were looser
in that version so it wasn't usually noticed. Take a look at nicely crafter
HTML hand inserted into HTMLBody at the sender level and the received level
to see how much ugly Word HTML stuff is put in the message.

Have you tried going beneath OOM, using
Redemption.MAPIUtility.HrSetOneProp (or equivalent extended MAPI call)?
Maybe that would bypass Outlook's foolishness and write it straight to the
store?

Whether it would work depends on when/where Outlook imposes it's view of
'correctness' on your content -- if it applies changes at the transport
layer, you're screwed; if it fixes it up when it renders, you're equally
screwed (though only on Outlook 2007 email clients.)

Just a shot in the dark, hope it helps.
