You might want to mention the versions of Outlook involved, what kind of
mail server you're using, and what steps you followed.

I have the same problem. I am using Office 2003, and I'm trying to send a
calendar event to a PC that has Office 2000.
The Office 2000 install receives "a big bunch of text and does not go to the
calandar as an event or meeting."

I have no idea what mail server. But do know that others in the distribution
list that have Office 2003 receive the Calendar event just fine.

There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions
related to reminders on meeting requests sent in iCalendar (aka iCal)
format. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

-- Contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the Outlook 2000
post-SP3 hotfix described in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199

-- Tell the senders to remove any reminder before sending you an iCal
meeting request.

-- Tell the senders to send to you in native Outlook meeting request (RTF)
format, not as iCal.
