Default Interacting with OUTLOOK

Hello Guys!

I would like to interact with outlook
I would like to insert a link in an email, if the user click on the
email it will create him a new calendar event. note that the calendar
event would have a preset time and date.
Is it possible?! if it is can you give me some hints, I've been trying
to figure it out for some time now.

Thanks a lot!!

will you have the appointment created or do you need to create it on the
fly? if created, place an ical on a webserver and link to it. if you want to
create it on the fly you'll need to script it on the server - check web
development groups for assistance.

Assuming you're sending over the Internet, just save your calendar event as
an ICS file, host it on a web server and link directly to that ICS file.
That way, you don't even need to worry about what calendar application your
recipients use.
