If you have Exchagne 2000 or 2003, it takes care of creating the iCal item.
Therefore, the option is disabled in Outlook.

There's nothing to enable, AFAIK. Exchange by default sends iCal to Internet
recipients unless the Outlook user specifies that the recipient should
always get items in rich-text format.

in outlook 2003 the option under calendar, then advanced
options is grayed out? Dont I have to enable this?

I have the exact same issue. When external users get the meeting
request, it is only a text message. No attachment, or anything.

No, you don't have to enable that setting. It applies only to Internet
accounts.

Exchange version? Outlook versions on sender and recipient?

I'm running Exchange 2003/ Outlook 2000. Recipient is running a non
outlook email program capable of reading iCalendar. When sending to an
external email here is the exact TEXT:

When: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 6:30 PM-9:30 PM (GMT-08:00)
Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Shouldn't there be an iCalendar (.ics) attachment?

thanks for the help

It's impossible to tell from what you've posted, which is just the plain
text part of the message. An examination of the complete raw message source
should tell you whether a text/calendar part (NOTE: not an .ics file
attachment) is being included, as it should be for an iCal meeting request.
