Hello VBA Express Forum!

The 'Reply with Meeting' button in the 'Respond' group of the 'Home' tab on the Outlook 2010 Ribbon magically creates an appointment with all of the original email's formatting, but there doesn't seem to be a way to achieve this with a script triggered by a rule. Can anyone see a way to do this?

My current code creates a new appointment with the subject, body and attachments of the original email, but the body is just an ugly text string and it's missing the images and html buttons relevant to the meeting (the buttons allow our employees to register for video conferences.)
I've just learnt that this is a bad way to make an appointment out of an email as it involves converting HTML-formatting to RTF, as some people online have had to do, because HTML cannot be used in outlook appointments.

Thank you for any assistance that you can provide in advance!
Sincerely,

Gordon
