When I send an appointment email from my Outlook 2003 to someone with Outlook
2000, it is not received as an appointment invitation. How do I fix this?

I think you might have to turn off the option to send the appointment as an
iCal/vCal item here: Tools menu > Options > Calendar

There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions related to reminders on meeting requests sent in iCalendar (aka iCal) format. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

-- Contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the Outlook 2000 post-SP3 hotfix described in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199

-- Tell the senders to remove any reminder before sending you an iCal meeting request.

-- Tell the senders to send to you in native Outlook meeting request (RTF) format, not as iCal.
