I experimented with sending an Outlook 2007 Calendar invitation to a couple
of my email addresses to check the formatting before using the feature. The invitation appeared corrected in a GMAIL message. However, the same invitation sent to a Comcast account essentially provided no information about the calendar event. And the same invitation to a Yahoo account came across as below, hardly what I would my invitee to see. Must I prepare an item somehow or format the invitation so that it will appear properly? If so, what do I need to do to send an Outlook 2007 Calendar item so that it will apprear correctly regardless of the kind of email used by the person I am inviting?

you need to send invites as icals, not Outlook's native vcal, but beyond
that, you can't control how other mail clients display the invitation. I know yahoo will convert some attachments to text in the message body and it looks like that is what happened here. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-(E-Mail Removed) EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-(E-Mail Removed) You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
