Accepting Meeting With No Reply - Tracking Shows Accepted As "None

[Guest]

We are using Outlook 2003
When a meeting is set up with attendees and they respond to the invite by
accepting, if they choose "no reply" on the response the meeting organizers
calendar under tracking shows the invitee accepted as "none".

This is misleading to the meeting organizer because the invitee did accept,
but just chose not to reply (so as to not clutter the meeting organizers mail
box). The organizer thinks that the invitee declined.

How do we get Outlook to diplay the proper information?
Is this a glitch in outlook?
Is there a setting on the Outlook Server that needs to be asdjusted for this?

Thanks in advance,
Jim

This is normal behaviour - Outlook Calendaring is mail-based, which
effectively means it works by messages going back and forth between
organizers/invitees. If the Accept or Decline message isn't sent from the
invitee, the organizer's item won't get updated.
