Does anyone have a good way to search for unanswered meeting requests in one's Inbox?

I'd ideally like to set us a saved search so that I can display quickly and easily all requests for meetings - this is sort of the "first thing" I need to do when getting back to the office after vacation.

I've tried searching by attachment name ("meeting.ics"), message kind (but only email or newsgroup posting available as options), terms in the ICS attachment, terms in the message "content class" ("calendarmessage") ... I know that I can turn on attachment caching, but this seems like a bad idea just for this application.

Perhaps searching with a "Raw Query"? But I can't find a complete list of terms that I can use (nor do I know whether any of them would actually work for me...).

Thanks for any ideas!

I wrote a reply to someone a few months ago covering raw queries in
Entourage 2008. Try this for your raw query:

kMDItemContentType = "com.microsoft.entourage08.virtual.event"

My earlier post is here where I go into a little detail about how to
find raw query item names:

Hope this helps!

bill,

Looks good. Now I'll wait for Monday to actually get a request so that I can see if this works; in addition I'll read your previous posting and follow up.

Many thanks!
