Default iCalendar and Attachments

Using Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003, if an meeting/appointment with a Word
document attached is saved as an *.ics file, the *.ics file does not contain
the attachment. Is there a way to have the *.ics file include the Word
attachment? Thank you in advance for your responses.

Although I'm still researching this, I don't think Outlook supports the ATTACH
clause of the ICS specification as one might think. The attachment becomes a
CID reference. I can't find any way to get an encoded file to attach and have
it transportable between Outlooks.
