The scenario is that I'm creating an appointment that has RTF on the body and
sending notification using WebDAV. After that, we try to accept it using a
url with queryargs like ?cmd=Accept and exchange looses the RTF when
accepting this appointment. Using Outlook Client, the RTF is preserved ok...

Any ideas or hints how to preserve rich content(text/html mimebodypart) when
processing notices such as acept?

There's no way to do anything other than plain text using the OWA URL
commands to deal with calendar items. (These aren't WebDAV - or even a
supported programming API - by the way. Please keep in mind that using
?cmd=accept will break when your app talks to an Exchange 12 server.)

The only way to preserve RTF on accepting a meeting request programmatically
is to use the Outlook Object Model or write a bunch of MAPI client code. (I
think CDO 1.2.1 will preserve the RTF on accept, but you'll need to
confirm.)

Persisting HTML in calendar items will cause RTF-HTML conversion interop
headaches - I recommend against.

Is there a place where I can see a example of accepting/declining a meeting
the way you are proposing ?

See

8c788.asp?frame=true
for a CDO 1.2.1 sample. You'll have to dig around
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/odc_2003_ta/html/odc_ancoffsol.asp?frame=true
to find samples for doing this with the Outlook Object Model.
