Actually Im on 2003. The recipients are on 2000 SP-3.
But not all 2000 users get this. Some actually get the
correct format.
If I turn off iCal, then those that got the text below get
an e-mail note but it does not add to their calendar.


-----Original Message-----
That's not garbage at all. It's a perfectly valid meeting
request written
with the iCalendar Internet standard format.

You neglected to mention your Outlook version. My guess
is that it's Outlook
2000, which has a compatibility issue with reminders in
iCal items. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199 for information
on the hotfix you
can get by calling Microsoft Product Support Services.
