I'm creating a Mail App for Outlook.com.
I want to create a new event from my read app and pre-populate the body with some html.
I'm using the Mailbox.displayNewAppointmentForm() method, and it opens a new event successfully.
However, the body content always shows up as plain text, even though I'm sending an HTML string.
(eg."<!Doctype html><html>...</html>")
The body parameter is described in the documentation as:
"The body of the appointment message. The body content is limited to a maximum size of 32 KB."
It doesn't say that it must be a string, or that plaintext is the only thing allowed. Can I create some sort of body object in which I specify the type? How would I do that?
I've tried sending some other (made up) parameters - CoercionType, and/or BodyType, but nothing seems to be working.
Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
The body parameter is indeed interpreted as plain text. There currently is no way to coerce it to HTML. I passed this along to the engineering team, hopefully this is something we can improve in the future.
