The text/calendar MIME type isn't something Microsnot invented, but an
IETF standard (RFC 2445, see <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445>.  It
is used by several Groupware applications, including free ones. A very
nice example (and a good M$ Exchange alternative) is Kolab (see
<http://www.kolab.org/>) which can use Kontact/Kmail or Horde as well
as Outlook as "frontends".


Outlook does not always send the text/calendar information as a MIME attachment but will send it in the body of the e-mail. *That* was the stupid thing to which I was referring.
