[Evolution] Sending/Receiving Tasks

[James McTavish <jmctavish matrixorbital com>]

At our office we would like to be able to send and receive
tasks/appointments.  Right now we go into the item and use the assign,
and send it off to several people.  Those recipients have to save the
attachment then use the File/Import command.  This seems a little too
convoluted.  When you receive the attachment the only options to view it
are:

-Save Attachment...
-View Inline (via Evolution calender iTip/iMip viewer)
-Open in gedit...
-Open in OpenOffice.org...

The view inline option does nothing.  The arrow points down but no
further information is displayed.

This is pretty much a stock Mandrake 9.1 install.  I've checked the
/usr/share/mime-info/evolution.keys, and evolution is set up to handle
text/calender, which is what gnome recognizes it as.  

Is there a way to automatically place a task/appointment from an email
into my schedule/to-do list?
