2004: Declining a calendar appointment once you have initiallyaccepted it

A

Andrew Littlefield

I'm sure that there has got to be a way to do this, but I'm damned if I can
figure it out.

I want to decline (not just delete) a calendar appointment after I have
initially accepted it.
EG from the calendar view when you realize that you have a meeting conflict.
Any suggestions, as to how this can be achieved?

Many thanks!

Andrew

unfortunately can't answer your question, but your question prompted
one from me. just switched as a long time pc user to entourage '04.
used outlook extensively for inviting people to meetings. just had a
friend send me a test calendar email from a pc and it came as a
win.dat file. not good. couldn't open, and obviously couldn't reply
(accept/decline). i could however see the time/date of the proposed
appointment. how can that be accomplished since most all of my
business colleagues have pc's and we continually invite eachother to
meetings. i tested an invite from my end to a pc user and she was
given the option to accept/decline. worked perfectly.

thoughts?

Winmail.dat and/or application/ms-tnef files are sent by Windows users of
Outlook or Exchange who have their mail clients set up to use ŒRTF¹ instead
of plain text or HTML.

Usually they only contain a styled text version of the message you have just
read in plain text, but they can contain encoded attachments that you can¹t
usually get to.

Fortunately, there is an excellent little application that lets you read
these files and extract the attachments, called ³TNEF¹s Enough², by Josh
Jacob. Here¹s a link that should let you find it on VersionTracker:

Better still, contact you correspondent and ask them to reset their mail
client prefs to use plain text, or at worst, HTML.
