Three hotfixes for Outlook 2013 were released this week. The first update affects Outlook.com accounts and fixed the following issues:
- Duplicate messages were visible in Outlook. Deleting the duplicate deleted both copies.
- Using something other than UTF-8 encoding (for example, Japanese (EUC)) resulted in the content not displaying correctly. (This issue also requires the Word hotfix in KB2768007)
- Email messages that contain non-ASCII characters do not display correctly
In a quick test, it appears the problem with HTML code in the notes field of contacts might be fixed. Unfortunately, not only did the HTML code disappear, but the company was removed from the affected contacts too. The category was removed too, but I was aware of that bug. Three bugs down, more to go.
