Attachments in outlook meeting request: good or evil?
Attachments in outlook meeting request: good or evil?
(OP)
In my office some people like to send out a meeting request with attachments such as the agenda, previous meeting minutes and relevant drawings. Other people send out the request, then send a separate email with all the attachments.
Which way is most helpful?
I have a hard time archiving the documents in the requests, so I prefer the latter, although it does mean having two separate emails to deal with.

in this way the people that is only informed of the meeting (e.g. department managers) do not get all the attachments, i do not have to send a separate email(s). Sometimes, the size of the attachments will require more than one email.
in case a document is revised i have to replace it in just one location and notify the users with a meeting update.
i also include a list of the documents the participants should be downloading to avoid confusion, although the target folder contains the required documents ONLY.
cheers.

I'll send out applicable attachments later by separate email.
I’ve heard of problems occasionally when people send attachments directly with the meeting request; the attachments may be stripped off when sending to people outside my company, the attachments are no longer available after the person “accepts” the meeting, etc. I’m not clear on the details of these problems, or if these are just “operator error”.

Many are inflicted with such company policies.

I was trying to help a guy who's account was overloaded and it turned out about half of it was his Calendar. After much digging, it turned out he had an old meeting with several large file attachments that were eating up his storage space.
