Recipients Have Issue with Meeting Maker Format

I recently had to re-install Microsoft Office 2007 on my computer. In doing
so I apparently lost some Outlook 2007 format settings. When I send a
meeting maker, recipients do not receive a notice to accept, decline or
reject but, rather a "cryptic" email. (This is true even for those
recipients using Outlook 2007.) Any recommendations on what settings I need
to adjust to correct this issue?

I recently installed a function to sync Outlook 2007 with Google Calendar.
Would that have caused the problem?

Thanks,

It's possible the sync tool caused it but I'd check the message format and
encoding setting in tools, options, mail format first.

Can you post a screenshot of the cryptic email? We need the first few lines
and may help us identify the problem.

Oh, so its just coming in as text format, not ical? I thought you meant it
was full of garbage characters - that means encoding problems. :)

Do you know if the problem existed before you installed the sync tool? If
you disable the sync tool, does it work?

Diane,

Removing the sync didn't help. However, I noticed that email formatting was
set to plain text. I switched to rich text and that seemed to do the trick.
