Hi,

On desktop outlook, the "body" property of tasks and calendar entries may contain rich text (formatting, links, etc). However, when using pocket.outlook on WM, I am only able to access a "plain text" version of the text that is stored. Is there a way to obtain it in "rich text" format?

Many thanks!

A: 

I googled around and came across this, as per the suggestion, to use the InkX control instead of RichTextBox, but AFAIK and from prior experience, there is no RichTextBox control available for the Compact Framework. Here's another suggestion, to use Html. Also here suggests the InkX which is found in the Smart Device Framework community edition here. In fact, you might just be able to parse the RTF and spit out the HTML equivalent, see here on CodeProject on this, and NRtfTree (it may be recompiled for the Compact Framework, and use the WebBrowser control to show the Html version of the message)

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.
