When I get meeting invites from certain people (over the internet, but sent
from Outlook2003 also), the invite appears as a normal text message with all
the ics code in the message body. I know there was originally a .ics invite
attachment on the mail server because I can see it on my iPhone, but when
Outlook downloads it (POP3) the ics is converted to text and so I cant add it
to Calendar.
An added oddity is that if I forward the ics message on my iPhone to another
mail address it arrives safely as a .ics attachment, but when trying to open
I get the Lunar/Gregorian issue. I investigated the Lunar issue, by opening
in Notepad, and found an email signature at the bottom of the text. So I
removed the signature, saved the file and it works normally as a Calendar
invite.
So:
a) Why does the .ics invite get converted to text on one email account and
not another, and
b) why does the ics have a signature messing things up?
Thanks.
