Wait a second. So you are trying to send the invites via outlook and expect Limesurvey to be able to insert the survey URL into the Email template created in Outlook?
Using these codes only works if you send the invitations via Limesurvey. If you want to send the emails via your desktop email application, you will need to create your own "serial letter" to insert survey links. You will have to get a list of the links to import.
So please explain what you are trying to do here.

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

I agree with Tpartner. Limesurvey will send the emails the same way. It won't know where it will be opened. It plain and stupid sends the same code to everyone. Of course, there is always a chance that there is going something wrong, but if there is appearing completely different code as you are showing, the problem must come from somewhere within the software you are using. It doesn't just magically appear.
