A script to handle Outlook meetings with Mail and iCal
Authored by: kumar303 on Oct 18, '04 01:58:29PM

When I get outlook meeting requests by email it just sends an ics file as an attachment. I double click on the icon and it opens in ical and adds the event to my calendar automatically. This script appears to also send the acceptance email which is nice, but am I missing something? Why do you need to use a script to create the event?

As the intro to my submission tries to explain, different users seem to get different behavior. Perhaps this is a matter of the mail server version or something like that. In any case, if you follow the link to the initial thread this refers to, you may get the solution you're looking for. This applescript is intended for those who don't receive a .ics file.
