Outlook 2000 Appointment Forwarding

[SusanJ]

I have a strange problem that happened on re-installation of
Office2000. In Outlook, I send copies of appointments to others by
just forwarding the appointment. Before, the person that got the
appointment could open it and look at it and put it in their calendar
or whatever. Now when I do this, the recipient gets just get a blank
email attachment (with the appointment name) and if they open the
attachment it is just a blank. Does anyone know what could cause this?

Are you sending the message in Rich Text format?

Are you sending the message in Rich Text format?

We have sent the message in plain text, html, and rich text and it
always seems to be the same.

RIch Text should work. If this were happening to me, I'd try a new mail
profile, but just how depends on knowing your Outlook mode (Internet Mail
Only or Corporate/Workgroup).

Brian - This is just an internet mail account, no workgroup involved.

That doesn't answer my question. Please click Help>About and post the mode.
It will be on the second line.

The second line says

Internet Mail Only - Security Update

 

[SusanJ]

I just realized, that mode is on my computer. If it says something
else, what should I change?

Well, you have a couple of choices. One is to switch to using
Corporate/Workgroup mode so you have control over your mail profile. The
other is to use the registry editor to delete the mail profile from the
registry (with OUtlook closed) and let Outlook recreate it.

Also, if you are using a Contact address, you can open their contact record,
double-click the Email address and see what format Outlook is choosing for
that specific contact to see if it's overriding the Rich Text setting.
