在不使用Outlook的情况下发送实际的Outlook会议请求

Question

因此,使用rails/ruby​​和linux我希望能够发送真实的,真实的Outlook风格的会议请求.它是真实的,它应该像从Outlook发送时的会议请求一样.

请注意,我并不是说将iCal/vCal作为电子邮件的附件发送 - 我已经可以这样做了.iCal路线的问题是:

• 在Outlook中,您必须打开.ics附件(双击)以获取会议详细信息并接受它
• 如果电子邮件收件人是会议的组织者(ical组织者电子邮件==当前用户电子邮件),那么该用户无法将会议添加到他们的日历(Outlook有帮助地认为,因为您是组织者,您已经知道它)
• 在iPhone上(我知道......)带有附件的电子邮件请勿显示在您收到的邀请列表中.这里使用iPhone的每个人都会在此列表中查看他们需要接受的邀请,因此我也需要出现在那里.Outlook会议请求显示在此处.

那么有谁知道如何从铁路发送Outlook会议请求？

更新我认为描述我想要实现的目标会有所帮助:

3人:James @ company.com,Bob @ company.com和Alice@company.com

在轨道上,詹姆斯安排与爱丽丝会面,并邀请鲍勃作为与会者.rails应用程序现在应该向James,Alice和Bob(作为参与者)发送会议请求(以James作为组织者),这样他们三个人都可以轻松地将此会议添加到他们的Outlook日历中(此时我不会关心衰退/ maybes).此外,Bob使用他的iPhone通过ActiveSync链接到Exchnage帐户,所以这也适用于他.

更新2:这是我的ics文件的内容(附在HTML电子邮件中),通过电子邮件发送到james@company.com(组织者)和与会者.每个人都需要能够将其添加到他们的日历中:

当该电子邮件出现在我的(詹姆斯)展望中时,有一个.ics附件(该电子邮件另外是常规HTML电子邮件).打开附件我被告知,作为会议组织者,我不需要回复并且没有"接受"或"添加到日历"选项

更新3:

这就是我现在发送的内容:

请勿将 iCal 文件作为附件发送。上述数据必须是消息中唯一的 MIME 部分，并且其内容类型必须是文本/日历

MIME-Version: 1.0
Subject: test
To: <someuser@dom,ain.demo>
Content-Type: text/calendar;
    method=REQUEST;
    name="meeting.ics"
