Outlook 2007: Can't accept proposed meeting times?

[1001001100100]

Does anyone know anything about this in 2007? Is it a bug or am I
missing something?

When I send an meeting request and the other receipient proposes a new
time, I get a response back but there is no "accept" button. I have to
manually update the meeting time.

Setup:
- both ends are OL2007
- both ends uses pst files
- no exchange server involved
- both ends connect to an IMAP server

TIA

In what format(s) are they exchanging messages?

In what format(s) are they exchanging messages?

It is either rich text or html but I can't determine which since there
is no "view source" option on meeting requests.

My normal messages to this user (as opposed to meeting requests) are
HTML as are the responses.

The request/reply is sent via SMTP and contains the following headers
amoung others:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/calendar; method=REPLY;
charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0
Content-Language: en-us

The exact build of Outlook that we both are using is:
Application name Outlook
Version 12.0
Build 4518

If you each have the other in your Contacts folder, open that contact record
and double-click the e-mail address. In the Internet FOrmat drop-down at
the bottom of the dialogue box that appears, make sure the value is "Let
Outlook decide..." so that the contact record value isn't overriding what
you've chosen in Tools>Options>Mail Format (or whatever the OL 2007
equivalent is).

The request/reply is sent via SMTP and contains the following headers
amoung others:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/calendar; method=REPLY;
charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0
Content-Language: en-us

Do you have iCalendar format enabled for Internet messages? I guess you do,
fro the above. Make sure the contact record isn't overriding the format,
then try toggling the iCalendar option to the opposite of what you have.
