Improvements and fixes

This security update contains improvements and fixes for the following nonsecurity issues:
  • Increases the number of retries when trying to connect to a host in Microsoft Outlook 2013. By default, WinHTTP will try six IP addresses (one initial attempt and five retries) when trying to establish a connection to a host. If Outlook 2013 tries to attempt more than six IP addresses, the connection will fail. This is particularly problematic on networks that have intermittent IPv6 connectivity problems. Increasing the number of retries may allow the connection to succeed with IPv4 addresses. To enable this feature, see KB3178716 for more information.
  • Resolves an issue in which your email address is added to the To field when you "reply all" to an email message of an Outlook.com account.
  • If an Object Model call gets the conversation index of some items in Outlook 2013, Outlook will no longer crash.
  • If an appointment is modified by an add-in by calling body.setAsync, the appointment body that is sent will no longer be blank.
  • When you forward and an email message that contains attachments in Outlook 2013 and you add attachments, the attachments in the email message will no longer be swapped and become corrupted.
