I thought there was an iCal "standard" for calendar events. At least when I
invite others to a meeting and they happen to be PC users using Outlook with
an Exchange server, they get an attachment. However experience so far has
shown that the attachment is completely unusable on the PCs. It cannot be
opened, and drag and drop to the Outlook calendar fails.
However appointment invitations from the PC users are recognized by E'rage
and I am asked if I want to add them to the calendar and the conversion
takes place just fine.
Am I missing something in the process of inviting Outlook users to an
appointment and having it placed on their calendar or am I looking for too
much at this stage?
