iCal via ColdFusion vs. iCal via Gmail
I'm sending an e-mail using the cffile output tag + an .ics file which is created when I schedule an appointment. I want the user to get an e-mail notifying them of the appointment so I get the e-mail from CF as an attachment.
<cffile action = "write"
file = "e:\webdocs\myFilePath\#newORID#.ics"
output = "
BEGIN:VCALENDAR.....
When the user clicks on the attachment Groupwise creates a sub-calendar + the event is added to the users calendar. I've already had a technical support person tell me that Novell/Groupwise is able to absorb the iCal file I'm sending and correctly, when I send an event from GMail the event posts to the users calendar perfectly.
Why is it that when I send the same file from my web application, the GW action posts a sub-calendar (unwanted behavior) AND the event. All I want it to do is post the event. Anyone had any experience sending anything from the web application to Groupwise?
This is the .ics file from CF
