meeting events from Mac iCal users not getting added to calendar
I have contacts that use the Mac OS iCal program. They send meeting
invitations from iCal via e-mail (those invitations are in .ics format, which supposedly Outlook can use). However, whenever the event is double-clicked on it does not allow any options for adding it to the Calendar. If the .ics file is sent as a zip compressed attachment and then opened it works fine, but ..ics events sent from iCal directly are not getting properly handled by the mail portion of Outlook. I am running Outlook 2007 (12.0.6514.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000) (but this was also a problem when I was running Outlook 2003. I know that there is nothing wrong with the .ics files from iCal as they work just fine when protected in a .zip archive, but it's not very convenient for either the sender or myself to have to deal with another level of abstraction in order to share meeting event invitations. Is there a fix for this. I've checked the knowledgebase and this issue has been addressed a few times, but non of the fixes work with my version of Outlook. Thanks for you assistance. |
