Firstly, you should not be using Outlook (or any other Office app) under a service (such as ASP.Net).

Secondly, Outlook 2016 and higher supports HTML in appointments, but that support has not been exposed through the Outlook Object Model. You can attempt to set the PR_HTML property (DASL name http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x10130102) using AppointmentItem.PropertyAccessor.SetProperty, but Outlook won't see your change until you completely dereference and reopen the item.
