STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem occurs because Outlook views the newly created form with embedded messages as a new message, therefore Outlook does not have anything to revert back to when you close the form.

The only way to recover this message is to restore the messages from a back up copy of them that you previously made.
