Preview Pane Doesn't Display Custom Form

[TonyaVG]

I'm using Outlook 2013 and have customized a Message form to include
labeled text fields. The purpose of the form is to allow personnel in
the field to provide emailed situation reports, but have the Subject
line auto-populate with data from specific fields as the report is
typed. I set the properties for the initial value of the Subject field
to handle that part, and when I test the form it appears to work
properly. As I type information in the form, the fields that I specified
in the initial view property go into the subject line as expected. When
I send the form to myself, I see the subject line in the preview pane
but the rest of the form does not display. I cannot see the form until I
actually open the message.

Is there some way to get the form fields to display in the preview pane?
Since the data in the subject line shows up, I don't understand why the
rest won't. I need this to work because some managers who will read the
report access their email using a cell phone and can only see the
To/From and Subject lines. Again, using a cell phone to access my email
allows me to see the information in the Subject line, so it doesn't make
sense to me that the rest of the form won't display.

Thanks in advance for your help!
