Microsoft Outlook 2007

Sending a Calendar in Email

Outlook 2007 allows you to send a portion of your Calendar within an email message so that someone without Outlook can read it. This method is not as functional as sharing your calendar with someone who has Outlook. However, sending your calendar in a message can save you from typing a list of your open times for a meeting.
