I am getting this when I am receiving a meeting request:

When: Friday, March 26, 2004 9:00 AM-9:30 AM (GMT-08:00)
Pacific Time (US &
Canada); Tijuana.

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

It comes as a simple text e-mail instead of a meeting
request. What can I do to fix this?
 
Jeff, what mail server are you both using -- Exchange or an Internet mail
server?

I am using XP so are they, Outlook 2003, so are they. It
is actually in the same office. We all use an Internet
mail server. Thanks!
 
Go to Tools | Options and under Calendar options, make sure the "use
iCalendar format" box at the bottom is checked.

It is. Any other things it might be?

I'd try testing the receipt of such a meeting request with Outlook Express,
which will let you see the entire raw message. That would give us a better
idea of whether the problem is with your copy of Outlook receiving it or
somewhere upstream, maybe in the server or the sender.

I am having the same problem. The only thing that my
colleagues have figured out is to type in the persons e-
mail address instead of selecting from the contact list.

Outlook version? Exchange version if you're using Exchange
