Can't Accept ICS file

[Jay²]

Hello,

We run Exchange 2003/Outlook 2007 SP2 environnement.
When we receive the email with the meeting request file (.ics) attached we
can't accept it.
The buttons (Accepts, Decline etc) are all greyed out and we are informed
"As the meeting organizer, you do not need to respond to the meeting".
When i try to open it the same ICS sending to an "yopmail.com" webmail, this
ics correctly add the meeting to my outloook and i can accept it, so we can
exclude the "consistency" of the ics and the capability of Outlook to read
the file .

Any ideas?

Do you know how its being forwarded? Instead of using Forward (Ctrl+F), try
Actions, Forward as iCalendar.

I don't know if it's an indication but i don't have this option in my outlook
?

To be sure that's we are in phase, i have try that :

- The application send a mail to (e-mail address removed) => I open a webmail
session, and when i click on the ICS files, i can choose accept or not the
meeeting calendar and it add it in my Outlook heavy client configured with my
@mymail adress.
- The application send a mail to (e-mail address removed) => I receive the mail
directly on my heavy Outlook client with an attached file and when i double
click on i can't accept anything. A message appear : "As the meeting
organizer, you do not need to respond to the meeting".
- When i forward (basic forward) the mail receive on my yopmail mailbox to
my @mymail mailbox, i receive the mail with an attached file and when i
double click onto, i can't choose accept the meeting like the direct sending
by the application.

Not necessarily - different mail servers handle ics files differently. You
need to compare the code the app creates with the code outlook creates.

notepad will do - ics files are just plain text.

Since the problem is on the receiving end, I'd invite a coworker and save
the copy he gets then compare it to the one you get from the app in outlook.
Then, if possible, compare what the app generates to what outlook generates
(save the meeting request you sent as an ics).
