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

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?

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

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. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What kind of mail server? Exchange or Internet?

If the senders are on another server, then you a bunch of other factors involved, such as whether that other server is allowing rich-text content to pass. Bottom line is that there aren't any local settings that control how your get meeting requests. The control is in the hands of the sender. There are two ways for you to get valid meeting requests from external correspondents:
1) The sender makes the request in iCalendar format. This is generally not available to users in an Exchange environment. 2) The sender sends you a normal Outlook meeting request AND the sender has your address marked for rich-text format AND the outgoing server doesn't do anything to suppress the RTF content. A good diagnostic test would be see whether the sender can send you a normal maiil message in rich-text format. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Tal" wrote in message ...

Does Outlook 2001 for Macintosh handle invites differently (perhaps it
assumes invites will be in iCal and translates them to a Entourage calendar item)? When I've tried sending invites from Outlook 2003 SP2 (through a corporate Exchange server) to my home email account and read it in Entourage 2001, Entourage realizes the email is really an invite and treats it like such (can accept/decline, appears in my Entourage calendar). Yet when I send the same invite to the same email address and access it on Outlook 2003 SP2 on a new Dell running XP Home (with all the latest updates available through Microsoft), Outlook treats the invite as a plain email. My corporate Exchange server apparently does prevent sending RTF emails (I tried that based on suggestions in this thread). Doesn't make sense that a 5 year old Mac program can handle meeting invites better than the current Windows version...
