Hi all!!

I am having difficulties with a few of my users that are stuck using outlook
98. When they are sent a vcalender even from a Outlook 2000 client all they
get is an attached text file.

Is this normal? :)

Does anyone have any clues if there is an incompatibility or some other
issue (plugin? patch?)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Daniel - you may need to force Rich Text Format when sending appointments,
etc. Are the recipients in the same Exchange organization or are they
external? If external, once the meeting has been organized and you are
ready to send it, double click on the recipients and check the bottom box to
force RTF.

Tricia - it is a known bug in Outlook 2002. The workaround is to uncheck
the reminder time.

| We are having the same problem. Meeting requests sent
| sent from Office XP (Outlook 2002) users show up as a text
| message in Outlook 98. There is no Accept or Decline

| Outlook 2000 users can receive the events just fine but

Have the same problem with o2k-users.
Strange is that it works for some with exact same conf.
