In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 environment, a user who
has a POP3 or IMAP4 account accepts a meeting request by using Microsoft Office
Outlook, and then the user edits the response. However, the response text is
lost when a recipient who is
using
a MAPI account receives the meeting response in Outlook.
The response part of a meeting request is composed into the
DESCRIPTION property of the Internet
Calendar (iCalendar)
object if a user uses Outlook with a POP3 or IMAP4 account. When Exchange
Server 2003 converts this iCalendar Reply object from the
MIME mail format to the
MAPI mail format, the DESCRIPTION property is lost.
Hotfix information
Note After you install this hotfix, a POP3 or IMAP4 client
that responds to a meeting request puts the updates in the DESCRIPTION
property, and this property is available in Outlook. Also, if there is an
update in the COMMENT property at
the same time, the data in the COMMENT property is
maintained.
