In short, Outlook has a horribly broken implementation for both email and iCal when it comes to anything but the most basic uses. Create an event in outlook and email it to yourself to the concept of what it expects. Doing web searches will also yield plenty of sources that talk about Outlook's limitations (and incompatibilities between the versions). In short, the iCal component can be the only component of the email. It cannot be a multipart/mime message. It must be a text/calendar message. See the sources mentioned above for details. -- Michael -- "Jamie Ho" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:5DB489EF44C5444A9974E3E934CD834C07C3DD7A@ex-600town-03.macromedia.com... > Hi, > > > > I hope this is the right mailing list to ask questions about vCal. The webapp I work on is currently sending vCals to Outlook as attachments. Is there a way to send them such that Outlook renders the e-mail the same way it renders other meeting requests sent from Outlook? Do I have to send vCals as attachments or is there a better way? > > > > Thanks, > > Jamie > >
