An appointment saved as .ics format and sent from my home PC to another can
there not be opened or saved as an .ics but only .msg format.
Consequently, it will not be importet in the Outlook Calendar.
Anything I can change with the settings?

make sure it's sent using RTF formatting (double click on the email address
and set it to always send rtf) or send it as an ical, not outlook calendar
format. Actions, Forward as icalendar.
