It should. The script does most of the work rather generically in unix.

@Michael Bartz,

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by adding these replies back to iCal. Do they just tell you who has replied and whether they are coming?

The script is solely for importing Exchange/Outlook invites, changes or cancellations to invites into iCal, not replies to invites.

I don't send out invites from my iCal so I'm not really sure what Google calendar is doing that iCal isn't. If you could let me know perhaps there's a way to modify the script to do what you need.

Andy:

I have tried your script and I still have problems.

My scenario is that I am sending invitations from my MobileMe account (iCal) to others that are running Outlook/Exchange.

I get replies from the individuals, but the attachments come in as "windat.dat" files. I installed a product called LetterOpener which converted the *.dat files ti ICS files and then installed your script. These replies still did not update my iCalendar.

I tried this experiment from a Google account and Google works when Letter Opener is installed.

Thanks for your great work.

Minor tweak for odd behavior in Snow Leopard.

I’ve tweaked the script to no longer require the user to input the name of the calendar for canceling events. I’ve modified the text above to reflect this.
