Office-js: Outlook-OWA not displaying email properly when email headers are sent.

Created on 10 Nov 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: OfficeDev/office-js


As the title states, there is a case where OWA fails to properly display the email if some email headers are in the content of the email. Outlook clients display the headers correctly though.

I don't think this is the right forum, but took a chance at filing the ticket anyway since I have had pleasant experiences with this group. And I am hoping this will be re-routed to the right team. Thank you in advance your kindness and understanding of my decision to post here.

Expected Behavior


This is how Outlook displays the email. And the right way to display it :
Correct Email Display

Current Behavior



This is how it is displayed in Outlook-via-browser :
Reply and Forward Incorrectly Shown

Steps to Reproduce, or Live Example

@ElizabethSamuel-MSFT any chance somebody can take a look at this? Not really super important. But might be something to look at thanks.

@glr0221 Thanks for raising this issue and pinging us about it. We'll take a look and direct where appropriate.

This is not an add-in specific issue.
We will route this issue to Outlook team internally.

Thank you @exextoc @ElizabethSamuel-MSFT. If this is properly routed, we can close this ticket then, Thank you again.
