Resource's auto-acceptance to meeting doesn't print its date/time!

[J. Andrew Smith]

I set up a meeting in a conference room. I "invite" the room as a resource.
If the room is free at the time I want, I get an automatic acceptance saying
so -- but it says only, "<room> is available for the requested time. /
Meeting Request Accepted." More specifically, that's all that prints. On
the *screen* I see the meeting's date/time and the lists of accepted,
tentative and declined. But when I *print* it, nothing prints but the
location (the room). The problem is, people book rooms -- or think they do
-- by other means, so I need to bring a printout to prove I booked the room,
and right now I resort to a screen shot.

I've tried right-clicking the message, but no View Source item is there, and
there's no toher way on all the menus or toolbars to do that. And copying
and pasting works only one line at a time in the message's headers, so it's a
pain, and it produces nothing that looks real.

Our help desk -- even Level 2! -- says there's nothing anyone but Microsoft
can do about it. Really? No one ever thought to put that essential
date-and-time-booked information in the *body* of a resource's
auto-acceptance before, so that it prints? I'm the first? If so, Microsoft,
my billing information is below!

To be honest, most people don't need that in the acceptance body, so it
would be a waste of development resources to add it. The real problem is
that your company doesn't require everyone use the same booking method to
reduce/eliminate duplicate bookings.
