Thanks again Sue

I'm using a company Exchange server. The users I'm getting these request
from are using a different company's Exchange server and using outlook 2002.

Here is some additional information that might help you help me

When I get meeting invitations from outside my organization mail server
they come as plain e-mail rather then a calendar item. Therefore I can not
accept or reject them. Meeting requests that are sent to me from inside the
organization mail server are received ok (as a calendar item).

When I send out requests, they are accepted as calander items both by inside
and outside users

This problem has only started a couple of weeks ago. I suspect it was right
after my PC was re-imaged with XP. The PC was running XP even before and
everything was ok (getting and sending meeting requests both inside and
outside my company mail server).

I have requested a friend (from outside the company) to send an invitation
to me and to another employee (that uses the same mail server as I do). The
invitation was received ok (as calendar item) by the other employee - but I
got it as plain text. The invitation was sent from the same person to both of
us (same format same server same outlook version etc) and yet there was a
difference. Therfore I assume it has to be in my specific definitions


Thanks again

Tal.

What kind of mail server? Exchange or Internet? Are the senders whose requests you're having problems with all using Outlook 2002?

Thanks for your answer. The Outlook version is outlook 2002 SP3.
It is not a sender issue as I tried sending a meeting request from one mail
account to two people (on the same mail server) the meeting was accepted
perfectly fine on one and as a plain test mail in my mail box. Therefore I
assume the issue has to do with my definitions either on my machine or on the
server (my definitions on the server).
Any ideas?

Thanks

It might be the senders' issue. It's hard to say without knowing your version of Outlook.

I get some meeting invitations as plain text mail which can not be "accepted"
in the calendar. I do get other meeting requests (from other people) as
calendar items. meeting requests that I send out are accepted as calendar
items. I assume it is due to a definition on my side - i just can't find it...
