Specifying multiple attendees in an .ics file to be opened by Outl

[black-sharpie]

Using an .ics file with the contents below, I'd like to create a calendar
event/appointment with multiple attendees.

When I open the file in Outlook, the organizer is listed as an attendee but
not the other.

What do I need to do??

Thanks.

Try taking the ORGANIZER line out, in which case the organizer should
default to the person opening the ics file, and they will become the
organizer once they send the request out. I don't know how to get rid
of the "Send update" text on the button. Outlook thinks it's a reply
to an existing request, rather than a new one.

The best way I've found to troubleshoot ics issues is to just try
taking fields out and see what happens. I have not found a reference
on what the exact effect on each field in Outlook is, if there is such
a thing.
