I can forward a bunch of meeting requests I have sitting in my incoming
mail if anybody wants.  There does not seem to be anything in the headers
that is interesting though.  Just the standard set.  The only X- headers
are from gnus.

The only thing that is similar is the message always starts with:


----> cut here <----
When: Friday, December 29, 2000 1:30 PM-3:00 PM (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time
(US & Canada); Tijuana.
Where: @The Roaster

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Maybe a washing function could be used for these (probably old-style
messages).  I know we are not running exchange 2000.
