Reply to attendees who've acceptted

Hi,

I've looked through the code that I've been able to find, online, but
am a bit mystified as to how to access a calendar object, then it's
attendees collection, and filter on attendees who've accepted to create
a new e-mail. It seems like somebody must have done this already.

Perhaps it's a wish list item, but I want to be able to communicate
exclusively with attendees who've accepted an invitation, when details
of the event change, not all those who were invited.

Say you send an invite out to the whole world. The conference will
demonstrate ways of enhancing sexual performance through nuclear
proliferation. Only 2,046 people want to attend. Then the President
hears about it and decides to attend. Of course, the Secret Service
requires screening of other attendees. An additional notice must be
sent to all attendees requesting information for security pre-screening
for the event. To get the information, we need to explain why. Those
who've declined, we do not want to annoy with further communications,
and the Secret Service says they don't have a "need to know" concerning
"future position of POTUS."

Next, we notice that the number of responses is so small that we can
save lots of money meeting in Cheyenne instead of Las Vegas.

Again, we want to notify only those who actually have committed to the
details.

Then, just to prevent anybody on the mailing list who has not been
pre-screened from showing up at the actual location, we change it again
to be video conferenced. We want that message to go out only to
attendees so that we can alert Federal Marshalls to investigate any out
of state visitors who show up at Cheyenne's Fair Grounds in the middle
of winter, and we pay for the video conference by selling their
personal information to Larry Flynt.

The simpler version of this question I posted yesterday seems to have
evaporated.

maybe if you included at least part of the message you are replying to
someone would have a clue about what you are talking about.

It was in context with the previous and only post in the thread.
Google doesn't automatically quote what we reply to and when others do
it replaces the quoted text with a link. Others have suggested
newsgroup users parse out unnecessary copy to save space and bandwidth
(as if such things are in short supply). Then there is the whole
discussion... If one does quote the entire previous thread in newsgroup
replies whether ones own additions (and subsequent comments) belong at
the top or the bottom. Laura Robinson, on the MCT partners' newsgroup,
has persuaded many that new comments belong at the bottom so we can
read news posts top-down. This, however, is not the default behavior
of most news-reader programs. Even if you were using the same Google
interface as I am and saw the message in context, the chances are that
its ambiguity might have annoyed you as its purpose was to express
annoyance. Nothing personal, but too bad there aren't more people
using VB with Outlook, and contributing here, as many people as use
Outlook, while over on the Perl areas one sees increadible
participation concerning things much less useful.

There are many people using VB with Outlook but they hang out in the
programming groups for Outlook, microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or
in the microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba group.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After furious head scratching, JBFields asked:
