Outlook 2003: Meeting Requests: Time=Free -> Time=Tentative

[Craigster]

When creating a meeting request with Time=Free, Outlook should set Time=Free
on recipient's calendar initially, but instead sets Time=Tentative. This is a
problem as my company uses these for Out of the Office notifications, and so
recipients' calendars show tentative time instead of free time, which
interferes with real meeting requests that others on Exchange are trying to
schedule. Is there a fix for this, or has it been fixed in Outlook 2007?

it works that way in Outlook 2007 and I'm not aware of any fix for it.

Correction. Try setting it to no response required. That is adding it as
free here.
