MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / March 2006Inviting Attendees Appears as Email
I am trying to invite a colleage to a meeting but on his end he receives an email, instead of an invitation. There is no option to accept decline or reschedule on his end. I am using Outlook 2003. When he sends me an invitation it comes thru correctly as an invitation. Also, if I respond to his invite it is returned to him in the proper format and no longer as an email. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this? > I am trying to invite a colleage to a meeting but on his end he > receives an email, instead of an invitation.

The most likely cause is that you are sending the invitation in a format other than Rich Text. Check Tools>Options>Mail Format and also open his contact record, dounle click his Email address, and examine the "Internet Format" drop-down.  SignatureBrian Tillman What mail program is he using? If Outlook, what version?

We are both using Outlook 2003 with SP1 installed. I checked the rich text settings and they are correct as well. Any more thoughts? > What mail program is he using?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this? It could be that your mail server is blocking the rich-text content. You might want to send an iCalendar item instead.
