I would like to send an email message to a group regarding an event. I do not
want a response from the recipient, but I want the time blocked off in the
recipients calendary as well as a 24 reminder prior to the event.

With a message, I can use the follow up flag for the reminder. But, how do I
block off time in their calendar?

I am avoiding sending a meeting request unless I can remove the response
buttons.

Any ideas?

Mail items cannot, by their nature, interact with the calendar without user
intervention. Calendar scheduling requires the use of the
appointment/meeting item, or the user must drag a non-native calendar form
to the calendar to generate an entry.

You can try posting this in one of the Outlook programming groups to see if
there is a programmatic method for doing this.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
