Yesterday I delivered a one day seminar on Office development. To bad my Outlook demo failed. I was pretty distraught by it, but I have just found the error. My Outlook Form Region manifest contained a node:
<showInspectorRead>true</showInspectorRead>
which should be
<showRead>true</showRead>
sigh....
Now let me update my snippets and I'll post all the slides and code :)
