Sub GetRTFBodyForMeeting() 
 
 Dim oAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem 
 
 Dim strRTF As String 
 
 If Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem.Class = olAppointment Then 
 
 Set oAppt = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem 
 
 strRTF = StrConv(oAppt.RTFBody, vbUnicode) 
 
 Debug.Print strRTF 
 
 End If 
 
End Sub 
 
private void GetRTFBodyForAppt() 
 
{ 
 
 if (Application.ActiveInspector().CurrentItem is Outlook.AppointmentItem) 
 
 { 
 
 Outlook.AppointmentItem appt = 
 
 Application.ActiveInspector().CurrentItem as Outlook.AppointmentItem; 
 
 byte[] byteArray = appt.RTFBody as byte[]; 
 
 System.Text.Encoding encoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding(); 
 
 string RTF = encoding.GetString(byteArray); 
 
 Debug.WriteLine(RTF); 
 
 } 
 
}
