Outlook Calendaring Problem...

[ralph]

Hello,

I'm working with a group of people which are using a
mixed environment of outlook 97 & 2000. They are all
connected to download email from the internet using
Internet Mail service in outlook. However, whenever they
send a calendar invitation to each other it is received
by the other party as plain text only. Thus not giving
them the opportunity to accept or decline the
invitation. Does anyone know what's going on? I would
like to assist them in resolving this issue.

I appreciate any help on finding a solution for the
problem above.

Thanks.

yes...Everyone is set up for rich-text. Any other
suggestions?

Make sure everyone has set each other's email addresses up for rich-text
format by double-clicking the underlined address and checking the box there.

If that doesn't do it, it's a fair assumption that the mail server may be
blocking the winmail.dat attachment that contains the rich-text content.
Downloading mail with a different client, such as Outlook Express, will let
you look at the entire raw message to confirm what's getting through.

Sue I had this problem until reading your post, it has been driving m
nuts for months as my posts were going out as HTML. Is there a settin
to make new contacts to default to Rich Text? My Outlook 2003 seems t
be defaulting contacts to Plain Text.

EDIT: Correction new posts are formatting correctly, it appears tha
imported addresses from Outlook Express are configured for Plain Tex
only

No, there's no setting to handle that for imported addresses. Change them
manually.
