Dear all,
I send eMails via SMTP with Indy. This works fine, both plain and html.
But is there any way to send MEETING REQUESTS for Outlook in Delphi apps?
Thanks for your help.

Meeting requests are encoded as Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format
(TNEF) attachments. Indy does not support creating TNEF content at this
time. You will have to do that manually. Refer to MSDN for details on the
TNEF format:
Transport-Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF)
msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/mapi/html/ca148ec3-8586-4c74-8ff8-cd542256e385.asp
There are also third-party TNEF libraries available online.
However, once you have the suitable TNEF-encoded data, you can use Indy to
send it as an attachment like any other file.

I googled, but cannot find Delphi components to encode TNEF. Can you
recommend one for Delphi?

There aren't any. you will have to generate the data manually, as per the
format spec I pointed you to earlier.
