Use voting buttons. Name each one for one of the dates and request that the recipients "vote" for the day they are available. When the mail is returned, it will automatically tally for you.

To edit the default voting buttons, erase the displayed entries, then enter your dates separated by a semi-colon but no space before or after the semi-colon. I don't know (remember?) if there is a limit to the number of voting buttons but sending mail with 4 or 5 buttons should work well.

After furious head scratching, news.microsoft.com asked:

| Hi,
|
| Often I want to send a group of people an e-mail to determin what
| date they all together are avalable for a certain invitation.
| I want to create a standard e-mail for this in wich I just have to
| alter four dates and send it to these persons.
| Behind each date in this e-mail I want to privide a toggle option so
| the receiver only has to reply the e-mail with the dates marked that
| he or she is available.
|
| Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this?
|
| Hope someone can help
