Hi,

I added an email ID in the meeting body, Outlook made it a hyperlink automatically. But when I sent to a Gmail account and viewed in Google Calendar, the whole meeting body content was underlined (Image 1). I found that its the <mailto> that's added by Outlook causing the problem. Outlook adding it as <mailto: someone@somedomain.com> (Image 2). I seen this with Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016. This doesn't happened when I tried in Outlook 2010. Looks like something changed recently (maybe in AutoFormat()) and causing this problem. I have attached screenshots for the reference. I have the latest update to Outlook 2013. Somebody faced the same issue? Is there a workaround for this?

Outlook's email ID (Entry ID) doesn't make any sense in Google calendar. What code exactly did you use for customizing the appointment item?

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for your reply.

Its not related to Entry ID. This is happening for normal Outlook meetings (not even from the code). These are the steps to reproduce:

1. In Outlook 2013, create a new meeting and in the meeting body, include some email ID followed by some text. This will automatically get hyperlinked (mailto) by Outlook.

2. Send this meeting to some Gmail Account.

3. At the recipient side, see the meeting item in Google Calendar.

4. You can see that whole meeting body text as under

Prasad,

I'd suggest asking non-programming questions or post such issues to the Outlook IT Pro Discussions or Microsoft Answers forums instead.
