I am running Windows 2000 with Outlook 2000. When I send an appointment
invitation to an attendee, the appointment subject appears in the e-mail
subject box and the following shows up in the body of the e-mail message:

When: Thursday, April 21, 2005 3:00 PM-3:30 PM (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US
& Canada).

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

There are no options for the invited attendee to accept/decline, etc. It
shows up in their inboxes only as a plain text e-mail message. How do I
correct this?
 
Force Rich Text Format. Double click on the recipient's mail address,
select properties and check the box.

Milly,
I have tried this option but the only item in 'Properties' that is closely
related to this option is 'Check to send as Plain Text' and it is/has been
unchecked. I have no option to force RTF.
 
Then right click and select properties.

Right clicking is how I selected properties when I spoke of it in my last
post. While in properties, there is no option for forcing RTF.
