Absolutely.  Has any progress been made on this?  Having RT send a vCal
attachment would make it really nice.

(Now all I need is to have the RT and Exchange "Contacts" (actually,
here it is a Public Folder) list sync with each other so that I don't
have multiple contact lists all possibly out of sync with each other,
and RT will then look really promising here, and no doubt for a lot of
other Windows/Exchange users around the planet.
