When I respond to a meeting invitation request, I often type a reply in
addition to my acceptance or declination. More often than note I find later
that the person didn't read my text because they simply deleted the response
thinking my accept or decline indication was all I said. Even when they have
preview open this happens.

It would be a nice feature of Outlook if, when a meeting invitation response
contains text, the user were warned that there was such text if they
attempted to delete the response without reading it first. Something like:
"The meeting response you are deleting contains a text response. Do you want
to read it before deleting this entry? (Yes, No)."

I'm sorry, but if the person is so ignorant as to ignore the messages
received, then I don't see why Outlook should be the nursemaid.
