I created an invitation from my Notes calendar and selected the "Do not receive responses from invitees" option.  From Gmail I did get a response when the user accepted the invitation...from Outlook I did not receive a response when the user accepted the invitation.  Now the question would be why?  What flag was set that caused Outlook to not send a response?

Final tidbits
I missed this thread earlier but it seems you got it working which is good.

Broadcast is also described in the schema doc but you probably didn't notice once you saw $PreventReplies.  Without checking the template and code I would guess it is similar in reason to the $BusyPriority / BookFreeTime items.  They are 2 that are used for nearly the same function and exist solely for legacy reasons going back to R4.5.  

The reason you get a response from GMail but not Outlook when you say "no responses" is that when we send RSVP=FALSE on the invite, only Outlook is actually paying attention to it.  GMail does not.  I would guess that is because they do not have the concept of a broadcast (at least not that I have ever been able to find), they expect invitees to always respond.  

Do not include alarm related items on your workflow emails.  Alarms are set based on each users profile settings and not something others will pull from your workflow.

Do not put any "prefix" on your Topic value:
  .ReplaceItemValue "topic", "Invitation:  " + scheduleDoc.SubjectText(0)
...
    .ReplaceItemValue "topic", "Cancelled: " + scheduleDoc.SubjectText(0)
Only Subject gets that kind of info / mangling.  Topic should be the unmodified "subject".
