Exceptions, if any, are noted in this section. If an update version, service pack or Knowledge Base (KB) number appears with a product name, the behavior changed in that update. The new behavior also applies to subsequent updates unless otherwise specified. If a product edition appears with the product version, behavior is different in that product edition.

Unless otherwise specified, any statement of optional behavior in this specification that is prescribed using the terms "SHOULD" or "SHOULD NOT" implies product behavior in accordance with the SHOULD or SHOULD NOT prescription. Unless otherwise specified, the term "MAY" implies that the product does not follow the prescription.

<1> Section 2.2.1.1: Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3) will always use the PidLidNoteColor property to determine the background color, regardless of the existence or value of the PidNameKeywords property ([MS-OXCMSG] section 2.2.1.17). Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Service Pack 1 ignores the PidLidNoteColor property if the item has the PidNameKeywords property set also. In that case, the background color is the color associated with the first keyword listed, as described in [MS-OXOCFG].

<2> Section 2.2.2.1: Office Outlook 2003 SP3 and Office Outlook 2007 SP1 set encapsulated plain text as a Rich Text Format (RTF) for the message body. For more information, see [MS-OXRTFEX] and [MS-OXCMSG].

<3> Section 2.2.2.4: Office Outlook 2007 always sets this property to the first line of the message body.
