Hello All,

we are using a heterogeneous environment here:

1. Left side of the hall: Adminsistration, WinXP with Outlook 2003
2. Right side of the hall: Science, with Linux/Unix and Evolution 2

Interop works fine except for 2 flaws:

1 flaw: PEBKAC, not an issue here :-)
2 flaw: Even though Outlook is configured to send Calendar events as ICal,
which it does for Meeting requests, it still sends winmail.dat attachments
for tasks, which Evolution doesn't understand.

So, how can I configure Outlook to send those tasks as ICal as well. The
other way round works fine: Outlook reads ICal task requests sent by
evolution and inserts them in the correct way, with response and all.

And no, this isn't a windows vs. linux advocacy call :-)
The problem exists as well with Outlook and Lotus Notes or Novell GroupWise
and others. This might be considered the more severe case, since lot's of
industrial partners prefer Lotus over Exchange. Solution to all this
problems is sending stuff as ICal, so I can't believe Outlook won't do it.

Thanks for the help,

Torsten
