Meeting Invitations

I have been trying to implement sending out Meeting Invitations to Outlook or Google calendars. So far I have been able to get is set up to send out an email with a 'not supported calendar message.ics' file attachment that doesn't work and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. This is the code I have in the Email Template (I got it from ICalendar article on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar):



BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//Service-now.com//Outlook 11.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:masha@byu.edu
DTSTAMP:19970714T170000Z
ORGANIZER;CN=John Doe:MAILTO:john.doe@example.com
DTSTART:19970714T170000Z
DTEND:19970715T035959Z
SUMMARY:Bastille Day Party
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

And my Email Notification is the same as regular email and the type of Meeting Invitation.
Am I missing a plug in? There is not much documentation so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

We had company header and footer added to each outgoing email and they were messing up the invite since iCalendar message has to start and end with BEGIN:VCALENDAR/END:VCALENDAR

Check your outgoing email (Email Log) to see how it is formatted. It has to start/end with BEGIN:VCALENDAR/END:VCALENDAR. Post your outgoing message and maybe I can help you then.
