Forward a meeting request as a plain email message in Outlook 2010
This was bugging me too and I didnt want to set the contact properties. So I dug some more and found an even easier method (its still not as easy as it should be).
- Start a new e-mail message
- Select Insert -> Outlook item
- Select "Insert as text" over on the right-hand side of the window
- Select either the Inbox calender invite or select calender and then the item itself.
Voila.
I do this in Outlook 2007, I would imagine its the same in 2010.
- Select the meeting invite
- Click "Reply" or hit CTRL+R
- Change the recipient to whoever you like and send.
Right-mouse click on the calendar item in the calendar view and choose "Reply" from the context menu.
