In response to the Campaign Monitor and The Email Standards Project campaign about Microsoft's decision to use the Word rendering engine to display HTML emails in Outlook 2010, "Let's send a message to Microsoft about Outlook 2010" Microsoft have released a response on their blog, The Power of Word in Outlook.

Some of the key responses from Microsoft  include:

• they don’t yet have a broadly-available beta version of Microsoft Office 2010
• can confirm that Outlook 2010 does use Word 2010 for composing and displaying e-mail, just as it did in Office 2007
• made the decision to continue to use Word for creating e-mail messages because we believe it’s the best e-mail authoring experience around
• Word enables Outlook customers to write professional-looking and visually stunning e-mail messages, without having to be a professional HTML web designer
