ISSUE
When you add a Poll to an email, the Poll is not added, and no error is shown. Once you select Add to email, an authentication window flashes on the screen, but the Poll is not added.
The Outlook Polls add-in page didn't handle authentication correctly, and as a result, you are unable to insert the Poll link into an email.
