Ah, that does explain the condition a bit better; thanks. I'm scanning
the Google Calendar forum
(
http://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!forum/cale...)
for possible threads which might indicate the real culprit, but so far,
have not stumbled upon anything. I'll need to run a few tests myself to
see what I get (my own server runs Communigate Pro, so at least I have
an alternate platform to send and receive invitations).
From the sounds of it, though, I would guess that somehow, we're
malforming the acceptance message. RFC 5545 defines the participation
status format here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.2.12. I
wondering where we may be going astray. Again, I'll need to run a test
and grab the source of the response to see what's funny. Do you know if
this is *only* happening with invitations sent from
Outbreak...er...Outlook and/or Exchange?
Thanks again for the additional input. ;-)
Another reply coming your way momentarily.
Cheers
