Are you sending the form definition with the item? That would one-off the
item and because it's a custom form item prevent it from being displayed in
the preview pane.

I have developed and published a Custom message type Outlook Form, there is
no issue with the form data retention, but when the Outlook form is sent
and
reaches the inbox of the recipient, in the Reading Pane (Preview) of
Outlook,
the form elements are not visible (i.e. looks blank) and when double
clicked
the form and its data appears in a new window.

Is there a parameter setting that I am missing here to make the form and
data elements visible in the Reading Pane (Preview) area of Outlook.
