Hmmm, I must not have installed that Quicktime update yet, as I had sound.

Does anyone know how to stop Outlook from just putting shit on your calendar? My boss' new secretary has taken to sending meeting requests through email and it bugs the living shit out of me. How do I deny access?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You can't decline the invite?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I can, but I want to stop it from appearing on my calendar at all.

eta: It's a principle thing, really. It irritates me that just anyone can send shit to my calendar. I want them to get a message that says "this user does not accept appointments" or something along those lines. Hell, I don't even know what the latest appt. is for . It just says "Program 1/Program 2"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I know absolute squat about Outlook, but in Notes the same annoying behavior is controlled by a setting that lets you choose to have invites added directly to your calendar or not -- is there something like that in Outlook?

I haven't found it, I thought the hivemind might be able to help me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From what I can tell about Outlook is that an invite, once sent to you, shows up as tentative in your calendar until you deal with it. I have not seen anything that looks like it will change that behaviour.
