Sending Appointments between different Outlook versions

I am using Outlook 2003. Our client is using Outlook 2000. When appointments
are sent between the two groups, the appointments appear as a plain text
message.

Short of convincing the client to upgrade, is there a way to make the
appointments work between the two Outlook versions?

Thank you!
 
There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions related to reminders on meeting requests sent in iCalendar (aka iCal) format. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

-- Contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the Outlook 2000 post-SP3 hotfix described in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199

-- Tell the senders to remove any reminder before sending you an iCal meeting request.

-- Tell the senders to send to you in native Outlook meeting request (RTF) format, not as iCal.
