SUGGESTION: Allow voting buttons in calendaring

V

Victoria@DIG

This would be a nice feature. Areas where this may be useful:
* Giving lunch options for a meeting
* Surveying who is participating in a meeting in person or via phone
* Event organization: Who is coming to watch and who is coming to play

I realize this can be done with 2 separate communications, 1 invite and 1
email, but it would be nice to have it all bundled together.

Um, voting has been a feature in outlook since outlook 97. You need the
make a meeting request and look on options dialog.

If we knew your version we could give more specific instructions to finding
the option.

Never mind. :) Voting is only in messages, not the calendar. It would be too
much to track on calendar items since they also track attendance.
