    I previously have Leopard and when someone forward me a meeting invite from their Outlook application, it will show up in my OSX Mail program as an .ics attachment. I can click on .ics attachment and it'll show up in iCal or any other, like BusyCal.

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard last week and now the same meeting invite email will come with an .ifb attachment. This attachment cannot be opened with ANY Calendar program, including OSX Mail.

    However, if I change the attachment from .ifb to .ics, iCal can open it.

    Can anyone tell me why Snow Leopard does this or if there is some settings that I am unaware of?
