I am trying to send meeting messages out to the others in my office.  When
they receive these they are in HTML text instead of a meeting format.  I am
using a new version of Outlook - they are all oon 2000.

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.

I seem to receive their calendar appointments fine - it is only when I send
meetings to them that there is a problem and they receive them as text
messages.
