Default Meeting Requests - No Accept Decline or Tenative Buttons OL2002

I am using Outlook 2002 at both home and work.
I can send a meeting request from Home to Work - and the usual buttons are
there, all good.
But when sending from Work to Home the message just comes as plain text.
Further, friends can send meeting requests to my Home email and all the
buttons are there too.
I can send to myself (Home to Home) and the buttons are there.
Any suggestions?

Ensure you force RTF on the items sent from work to home. Often, Exchange
is set to strip formatting unless you specifically force it. Double click
your address and check the box to always send RTF.

I have seen this advice offered on many posts and have tried it to no avail.
Unless I am doing something wrong, it does not seem to work. I have tried
changing the format to RTF in Contacts and in the individual/appointment
message itself (right click on address, send using RTF). I have also checked
that the 'iCalendar' check-box is clear.

The strange thing is - I can make an appointment from Home and send it to
Work and it's o.k.. Friends can send appointments to both Home and Work and
it's o.k.

Just can't get the Work to Home working.....

Work uses Exchange, Home doesn't but both use Outlook 2002.

Then talk to your Exchange Admin - he or she can probably tweak the setting
on Exchange to stop stripping the formatting.
