So Exchange is able to use e-mail responses to directly confirm
appointments.  I wonder what this is like.  I wouldn't want to get
messages from everyone unless I had to.  I would prefer to separate
communications about appointments from other communications.

I have MeetingMaker, but I haven't used it much yet.  It looks like it can
send e-mail announcements, but I'm not sure of how it confirms
appointments or accepts cancelations.  I'll have to look into it.

Thanks for the info!

Mike
