I am Running Outlook 2000 and am trying to receive a Calander Apointment from
Outlook 2003, When I receive the E-mail it is just a buch of text, My
settings are to automatically accept apointments, and to display HTML. Any
Sugestions on how to successfully receive this typ of e-mail?

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.

Every article describing a hotfix also contains instructions for obtaining
that hotfix.
