In my view, MS took cognisance of the fact that users don't always read their mail immediately. If I sent somebody an invitation for tomorrow afternoon, and the mail sat there unread until after the time specified, they would miss it simply because they hadn't read the mail. However, in the default set up, Entourage will TENTATIVELY add the event to the calendar, complete with reminder is it has one set, so you won't necessarily moss the meeting. Of course, when you get round to examining the invitation mail, you can decline the invite (and consequently delete the event) or accept it, and fic the event there permanently. I would much, much rather have events added tentatively than miss a meeting with a potential customer, just because I'm behind in reading my mail. -- Barry Wainwright <http://www.barryw.net> "I feel that there is a world market for as many as five computers" -- Thomas Watson, IBM corp., 1943 -- 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/>
