When an individual sends a meeting invitation from her Outlook 2003 Calendar
Client and it is received by one employee using Outlook 2000, it comes
through as a Plain Text email and much garble.

OTOH, when he receives an invite from another Outlook 2000 Calendar User it
is received fine and he can accept or decline as appropriate.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks!

Change hers to HTML form instead of plain text

For Outlook-to-Outlook invitations, I'd choose Rich Text.

A known shortcoming of Outlook 2000 that when it receives an invitation from
a later version and the invite has a reminder, it converts to plain text.
Either have the person sending uncheck the reminder or get the Hotfix from
Microsoft Product Support Services - see
