invite calendar event

I use Entourage and my husband uses Office XP, sometimes I add
calendar events for my husband to attend and on his Windows Outlook
sometimes it will have the event added to his calendar and sometimes
it won't. When it does work an attachment file is with the email that
Outlook understands. Does anyone know how to add an calendar
event to Entourage and invite Outlook users an when the outlook users
get the invite it actually adds it to their Outlook calendar everytime?

As long as you click the Invite button in the calendar event, type in your
husband's email address, and send the invitation to him, it will work. If
you don't invite him and send it, it won't work.

Or maybe I misunderstand. Are there cases where you send the invitation but
it's not recognized as a calendar event by Outlook?

My wife uses Outlook 2000 at work, and when she respondes to an invitation,
the reply is a TNEF file. However, my friend uses Outlook 2002, and it is
accepted normally.

Is there some esoteric setting on my wife's PC that will allow her to accept
these invitations in a way that Entourage v.X understands?

I am using E'rage 10.1.4 (030702)

Ask your wife to open the contact she has representing you, and to set your
preferred mail format to "Plain Text" or "HTML". It's probably set to "Rich
Text", which Entourage does not understand.

A utility to decode TNEF files and more information about the problem can be
found here:
