Email Your Calendar from Outlook
Posted by Gina Trapani at 8:00 AM on December 14, 2007
The Productivity Portfolio blog covers how to email your calendar in Outlook 2007 in a format that anyone—even non-Outlook users—can open. Everyone's got wacky work and life schedules around the holidays, so you may want to dash off your calendar to a co-worker or client before you go. In short, Outlook attaches an .ISC file to the outgoing email, which the recipient can open in iCal, Google Calendar, or any app that supports iCalendar files. Handy.

Minor detail, but I think you mean Outlook attaches an .ICS file.

Can you do this with earlier versions of Outlook?
I've used meet-o-matic: [www.meetomatic.com]
I've found to be the easiest way to get a group of busy folks together.

Also - be sure to try this and make sure it works for you.
Outlook has often had some interoperability issues as far a .ics files are concerned. Even though there was an Internet RFC (2445) implementations in various products varied widely (The Calendaring & Scheduling Consortium at [www.calconnect.org] is on a mission to change the situation, thankfully). For example, my version of Outlook (2003) seems to only want to import one event from an .ics file containing many. The .ics files it creates may or may not be consumable in other products, or even other versions of Outlook, or may exhibit small quirks.
