Outlook 2007 does not support any kind of interactive content, for security reasons. You can, however, suggest that the recipient open the message in the browser. To direct the recipient of a message to use the View in Browser command to see the message content that Outlook 2007 blocks, you can include a special element in your HTML code. To display directions to Outlook 2007 users at the top of the message, put code like this just after the <body> tag:
<!--[if gte mso 12]><BR>To see the interactive content of this message using Outlook 2007, click the <STRONG>Other Actions</STRONG> button, then <STRONG>View in Browser</STRONG>.<BR><![endif]-->
The <!--[if gte mso 12]> tag in effect says: show this tag’s content only if the rendering engine is greater than or equal to Office “12,” that is, only if it is Office 2007 or later. Of course, a security-conscious user would ignore the suggestion.
