Strange behaviour when forwarding a meeting invitation
I forwarded a meeting request to someone (person A). In my sent items folder, person A is the only person listed in "To". However, when I open the sent message I see that person A is now listed as a "required" person along with all of the other original recipients of the meeting request. The message says it is from "me sent on behalf of the original meeting organizer". And, it shows the text that I added to the "Description" section, which I intended only to be seen by person A. I am using MS outlook 2010. When I forwarded the meeting request to person A and added text to the Description section, did it copy all the other original recipients of the meeting request? THANKS for the help...!

No. But the meeting organizer may have received a notification that you forwarded the invitation. It's nice to know that people other than the ones you invite know about the meeting -- maybe they weren't supposed to know about it! Next time ask the meeting organizer to invite the other person and avoid any embarrassment. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thanks Rich, however all the original recipients received a copy of my message to Person A in my case... this totally conflicts my life long understanding of forwarding an email or an invitation. Sorry if I didn't ask the question more clearly, so it happened to me, and I want to know if it is a behavior or a bug?

Let's just say it isn't normal. There are a number of problems with meetings, especially recurring meetings, that are handled by mobile devices though. Invitee's becoming meeting organizers, for example. Perhaps that happened with this meeting. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
