The process appears to new to most of us (myself included) who don't work for large businesses where this sort of thing is customary. I was surprised to see it too, but curious about it rather than offended. General Preferences / Calendar / � Tentatively add events when invitations are received Now that you know, you can turn this preference off. As Glenn says, it's a good safety feature if you want to be reminded of things you may forget. and it's a good thing to have a new feature on by default to learn about it. Most of us here have had Entourage X since last fall and yet this is the first time it's happened, so it's hardly being abused. When you get an invitation you can Cancel it immediately, and then you won't get the reminder if the sender has added one. That seems a good way to go, to me, but if you prefer to just turn the preference for tentatively accepting off, just do so now. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
