This is really more of a discussion topic than a how-to, so for all you
uber:geeks out there, this is your chance to shine.

We recently upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003 (on Win2KPro). Since the
uprgade, we have noticed this particular wacky behavior.
I invite my corporate distribution list, which includes all of the company,
to a meeting and expand the distribution list to check individual
availability on the Scheduling tab. Being a member of the company, I am
included in the DL. If I forget to delete my name from the list of
recipients, I will receive an invitation to my meeting.

This appears to be a BAD thing. If I am stupid enough to accept my
invitation, I will lose all control over my meeting. No longer can I update,
make changes, or cancel my meeting. The meeting entry in your calendar lists
me as the organizer on the Appointment tab, which it does *not* do if I am
the organizer and I am looking at the entry on my calendar.

Can anyone shed some light on this behavior, or come up with a better
solution rather than always expanding and editing one's distribution lists?

Thanks,
Jennifer

Also, It's a coporate DL, not a personal DL, created by the administrator,
so everybody's on it.
