Here is an example of a web web page that does this: http://www.sspca.org/Calendar.html
(click on a calendar item, then in the popup click on "Add to My Calendar")
Some info:
Descripton: vCalendar File
Extension: .vcs
MIME type: text/x-vCalendar
How to handle: View with Application
Application: (Select your calendering program)
To learn the vCalendar format needed for an email, I would open Outlook, make a calendar event, and then mail it. Then read the message on the other side.
It will probably contain info similar to:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
CATEGORIES:MEETING
STATUS:NEEDS ACTION
DTSTART:19960401T073000Z
DTEND:19960401T083000Z
SUMMARY:Steve's Proposal Review
DESCRIPTION:Steve and John to review newest proposal material
CLASS:PRIVATE
END:VEVENT
BEGIN:VTODO
SUMMARY:John to pay for lunch
DUE:19960401T083000Z
STATUS:NEEDS ACTION
END:VTODO
END:VCALENDAR
(PS, I've never done this yet, but it on my todo list)
Let us know what you find,

Does anyone know of a custom tag or a way to format an email so that
when it is received by an Outlook client, it will have the option to add
it to their calendar? Like a meeting request sort of thing? I don't
know if outlook uses certain mail headers or if there's something
attached. The server is in a different location than the users, so we
can't automatically connect to an exchange server or anything. We need
to be able to send it via CF and have it received by the users and have
that option. Thanks!
John
