Opening items in public folders automatically adds to my calendar.

[Guest]

We are running a exchange 2003 environment with mixture of Outlook XP and
Outlook 2003 clients. Meeting room availability is booked through Public
Folders.

What is happening is when a user double-clicks to open an item to see who
has it booked, then x's out the window, it automatically add's the item to
their personal calendar. They then have to go to their calendar delete the
item, decline to send a notification to meeting owner and acknowledge
rejection of the meeting. Why is it adding to the personal calendar if all
they are doing is looking at the details. They don't even accept the meeting?

Any ideas?

This does not sound like the default behavior of Outlook with Public
Calendar Folders. Ask your Exchange admin if they have an Event Sink set to
cause this or if they have otherwise altered the default behavior of the
public folders.

This is what is strange. Nothing out of the ordinary. I'm one of the
exchange admin's. Permission are set so that default is author and anonymous
is contributer. There is one other person with who is set as owner. I know
that is different than out of box, but I was wondering that since permissions
are not that granular, then why would read and create items, cause that to
happen?
