flight itinerary appear as meeting request not appointment

From the users standpoint they receive a message (meeting request) with an
attached .ics. Double clicking the .ics opens into a new calendar, side by
side with their default Outlook calendar. They can drag the appt request
that
is on this new calendar over to their outlook calendar but prior versions
just automatically added the appt request to their outlook calendarn.

There may be some confusion here (partly mine). They just want things like
travel schedules etc...to automatically be added to their calendar. They
were
used to how it worked in outlook 03 and 07 it doesn't work the same so
that's
the reason for the post.

A meeting request and a mail message with an ICS attached aren't the same
thing. A meeting request would go into the personal calendar by default. An
attached ICS file should as well, but perhaps you and I are differing in our
understanding what "personal" calendar means. I mean the delivery location
Calendar. Plus I tested this on Outlook 2007 and 2003 yesterday and they both
behaved the same for me. Opening an ICS file did not open a calendar window,
but a new meeting window, which was stored in my delivery location Calendar
folder when I clicked Save and Close. Is there any other information you can
describe which might let someone reproduce the behavior?

It's really not something your can repro at will - in my experience, it only
happens with some of the 'add to calendar' links that are generated on the
fly when you make reservations.

SP2 fixed a lot of calendar issues, so that should be installed, if its not
installed already.
