Appointments sent by email

[Scott W.]

I use Outlook 2003 at the office and at home. When I send an appointment
from my work based computer to my home computer via email, the email opens
with text instead of being an appointment that can be accepted. The text is
the routing information, html codes for the body text, codes that would
normally instruct the calendar to update the new appointment.

The most common cause of this is scanning mail with your antivirus program.
If that's how you have your home AV program configured, uninstall the AV
program and reinstall it without the mail scanning feature. Outlook will work
better and you'll be just as protected.
