iCal via ColdFusion vs. iCal via Gmail


i'm sending e-mail using cffile output tag + .ics file created when schedule appointment.  want user e-mail notifying them of appointment e-mail cf attachment.

 

<cffile action = "write" 
    file = "e:\webdocs\myfilepath\#neworid#.ics" 
    output = " 
begin:vcalendar.....

 

when user clicks on attachment groupwise creates sub-calendar + event added users calendar.  i've had technical support person tell me novell/groupwise able absorb ical file i'm sending , correctly, when send event gmail event posts users calendar perfectly. 

 

why when send same file web application, gw action posts sub-calendar (unwanted behavior) , event.  want post event.  had experience sending web application groupwise? 

 

this .ics file cf

i don't think coldfusion issue, problem icalendar file format. please change request type publish , see if helps.

 

in experience getting ics files work emails clients pain, diff outlook versions.

 

try going through ietf standard, should narrow problem.
