[snip more procedures]

If you go to the Outlook options (and you are setup as Internet Only
mode - don't know about "C/W" mode), there is a Calendar option that
says something like "send meeting notices in iCalendar format" --
something like that, I'm not looking at it right now.  However, this
puts the iCalendar as the message text (in plain text format), and
Evolution just shows it as text, instead of as a meeting notice
(Evolution 0.10, or somewhere around that time, used to show it as a
meeting request form).

This would eliminate all the "attaching/importing" steps.

TTFN,
