    The organizer would have to deliberately disable the reminder…

      Since it’s working with open protocols, you can’t guarantee that. Someone could be using Thunderbird or some other client with a different setting.

        True, but why would any email client just ignore that crucial peice of data from the most common email client?

        Even if the devs dislike it, ignoring it would only make it seem as if your client is the one with the issues.

          No, I mean from the other side. The meeting organizer could be using an email client that doesn’t set a reminder by default.

            The question still remains, I would not use a client that the most common email client is incompatible with.

            Regardless of if the most common cliebt is idiotic, it is still the de facto standard.

      How else does one manage to skip out on a meeting that one really doesn’t want to hold?

      “Sorry boss, I tried. Had to reschedule, cause half the meeting never showed.”

        I have been in such meetings, where the organizer didn’t have a reminder set, and because of it several key people didn’t get a reminder and either missed the meeting or arrived late.
