If responding to a meeting outside of the same organization from which the
meeting was generated, how would the meeting organizer "know" that someone
has accepted/declined/tentatively accepted? What method would be used for
that scenario???? How would someone "know" that you have accepted, declined
or posted a tentative without you sending a response? Is Outlook supposed
to use a crystal ball??

As for the second suggestion, whenever a person accepts the meeting but has
comments, it will not automatically process but remain in the in-box (unless
you have rules that move messages with the specific criteria) so you can
easily open them and read any responses.

IMHO, you are asking for added complexity without a commensurate return.

After furious head scratching, PandaF86 asked:

| 1. When "accepting" a meeting, it should update the organizer's
| calendar without having to "send" the response which just adds more
| unneccessary email. There should just be an option of whether or not
| to accept/decline with a response.
| 2. When editting a response to a meeting, put "RE" in the beginning
| of the subject line. This will differentiate between those who just
| accepted and those who accepted with a response if you are not going
| to just update the calendar with an accept or a decline without
| receiving an email in the inbox (see #1)
