· 2 years agoDoes not work in Outlook 2016. Opens up a new calendar entry, but does not automatically copy the people on the email to the attendees list. What good is a meeting if none of the people except you are in it?

· 2 years agoFrom what I have experienced, email attachments will not stay with the email that you have copied to the calendar. You can drag and drop them to the appointment once you have set it up.
