Default Inviting Attendees Appears as Email

I am trying to invite a colleage to a meeting but on his end he receives an
email, instead of an invitation. There is no option to accept decline or
reschedule on his end. I am using Outlook 2003. When he sends me an
invitation it comes thru correctly as an invitation. Also, if I respond to
his invite it is returned to him in the proper format and no longer as an
email. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this?

The most likely cause is that you are sending the invitation in a format
other than Rich Text. Check ToolsOptionsMail Format and also open his
contact record, dounle click his Email address, and examine the "Internet
Format" drop-down.

We are both using Outlook 2003 with SP1 installed. I checked the rich text
settings and they are correct as well. Any more thoughts?

It could be that your mail server is blocking the rich-text content. You might want to send an iCalendar item instead.
