iCal

Within limited VB application (uses a really old version), I'm trying
to programmatically create an email with an iCal meeting invitation to
send to Outlook users.

So far I've been able to create a file, then attach it to an email and
send it. The recipient gets the email but must manually open the .ics
attachment to get the Accept/Decline buttons and meeting details.

I've seen other third party programs such as Lotus Notes send meeting
invitations to Outlook recipients and Outlook knows to automatically
show it as a meeting invitation without the recipient needing to open
an attachment.

How are these third party products able to accomplish this? Is there a
better user forum for such a question?

Thanks
