    When sending a form to Microsoft Outlook, the form looks like ..... not good

    Hi. I have created a  template (list) in Sharepoint 2010 and modified it in Infopath designer 2010. Then i have published it in SharePoint 2010. All good. When the form gets saved, an email is sent as well. The problem is that the form inside the email (microsoft outlook 2010) looks very bad. The arrangement is different. In SharePont all looks ok, in the browser, but in Microsoft Outlook the sizes of columns and some rich text boxes are modified. Can anyone provide me some tips here? Thank you!

     Sadly, this is "normal". The best solution I have found is to have one section for filling out the form and one section for emailing. I have a boolean field called my:IsEmailing which is false by default and get switched to true when I want to send email. Using that field, I can hide/show my two sections as needed. That allows me to tweak each section independently, i.e. make one section look good in the browser and one section look good in email. Does that make sense? It's not a solution but hopefully it provides an alternative.
