I have received emails confirming appt or seminars from different
organizations that have url in email message body to click on to create and
add the appointment or seminar item to my Outlook 2003 calendar
automatically. I thought that was a great feature and service to the email
recipient. Does anyone know how to add that feature/url if I want to send
emails to others, and let recipients click on the url to automatically
create calendar item in their outlook 2003 if they accept.?
Thanks,
Greg

The urls are links to iCalendar files (or dynamically created iCal content),
such as those you can create from an Outlook appointment by choosing File |
Save As and choosing iCalendar as the file type.
