Meeting requests showing up as plain emails?!

[aswas]

Hi. I am using Vista Ultimate 64-bit for a few months. I have a
licensed copy of Outlook 2007 Enterprise. Everything was going fine
until a few days ago, and I have NO idea what changed.

Now, when I send Meeting Requests to people, they get it a regular
email. They get NO calendar item at all. Nothing to accept, decline,
or propose new time. They just get an email from me.

I have NO idea what happened, but I need to send calendar items to
people a lot. Can anybody figure out what went wrong?

Thanks.

You need to either send them as ical (internet calendar) or set the
recipients to always get RTF (for that message). If you didn't change any
format settings then its possible someone's antivirus is removing the TNEF
information from the file.

tools, options, calendar options - near the bottom is a checkbox for using
internet calendar format. Is it enabled?

Yes. send as iCal is checked. How do I set recipients to get RTF?

Thanks.

Double click on their names in the To field and see what their address is
set to use.

What do you mean what their name is set to use? I double clicked and
saw:

email type: smtp
internet format: let outlook decide the best format.

What should I be looking for, specifically? Thanks.
