OL2000: Meeting Request to DL Shows Members As Optional

ID: Q214633


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Outlook 2000


SYMPTOMS

When you send a meeting request, you are allowed to place Distribution Lists on the To line as required attendees. When the recipient accepts this meeting invitation, the original meeting item shows that recipient as an "optional" attendee instead of "required".


CAUSE

When Outlook receives a meeting acceptance, the sender of the acceptance is compared to the recipients listed in the meeting item attendees. If that recipient is not listed, it is assumed to be "optional" and added to the list of attendees.


STATUS

This is by design.
