If you're going to paste HTML into an Outlook item body it must be valid HTML. You will need to do string processing on what's being pasted in before you paste the string. The "<" and ">" characters aren't the only ones that are going to be problems for you and that must be escaped. You also will need to look out for the quote character and the "&" character.

There are limits to how much you can customize the user interface, some things just aren't exposed to you and some things can't be removed. For the ribbon you can use the <startFromScratch> XML tag and then create your own ribbon from scratch, for CommandBars you can hide the built-in ones. But there are limits as I said.

You'd have to hack into the Outlook code to do that. All of that sort of thing is hard coded into Outlook.

I think you answered your own question, why not use a Windows Form for your panel? You can prevent it from showing in the task bar and you can set it to have no form borders, which would get rid of the title bar. FindForm() would also then work. For #2, assuming you switch to a form, why not just handle the form events for the mouse and/or keyboard? Just set KeyPreview to true....

You'd still need the timer to fire when you were out of Activate(), don't forget you set up the timer there so you allow time for the event handler to finish and then the timer fires.

Many Outlook UI properties, such as FirstName for example, end up firing PropertyChange more than once because they actually change more than one property.

Then you can set a flag to indicate...

What you're missing is what you're going to run into with methods/events that overload the same keyword in all managed code. In this case AppointmentItem doesn't directly expose the Send event since it uses the same keyword as the Send method. There are a couple of ways to do what you need to do: 1.
