Hi Ralf,  Thanks for your reply.  The event request does have a proper  
text and X-ALT-DESC section.  It is generated by Outlook.  For  
example, the raw message has a top section that starts with this:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR                                          
PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 16.0 MIMEDIR//EN
VERSION:2.0                                              
METHOD:REQUEST                                           
X-MS-OLK-FORCEINSPECTOROPEN:TRUE                         
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE                                        
. . .

Then following the above you have:
SEQUENCE:0                                                                 
SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Test                                                
TRANSP:OPAQUE                                                              
UID:040000008200E00074C5B7101A82E008000000001096A2CA50F5D601000000000000000     
010000000A09E9338D3303D44B2A9326D36DD6A5C                                

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html  
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"  
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"  
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:  
. . .
Then the rest of the html body, then followed by:

X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:TENTATIVE
X-MICROSOFT-CDO-IMPORTANCE:1        
X-MICROSOFT-CDO-INTENDEDSTATUS:BUSY
X-MICROSOFT-DISALLOW-COUNTER:FALSE  
X-MS-OLK-AUTOSTARTCHECK:FALSE       
X-MS-OLK-CONFTYPE:0                 
BEGIN:VALARM                        
TRIGGER:-PT15M                      
ACTION:DISPLAY                      
DESCRIPTION:Reminder                
END:VALARM                          
END:VEVENT                          
END:VCALENDAR                      

The x-alt section has the HTML format of the event body with proper  
html for URL links.

As with inline text in a message body, is there a way to enable inline  
text in an event body?

Thanks.
