Well, I've applied the patch, but events still will not work with 
Outlook. I'm running 0.9-0.18.beta.el6.kolab_3.0, is there an other 
patch I need to install that I might have missed here?

What's interesting for me is that downloading and looking at the 
event.ics file that is sent to Outlook before and after the patch are 
identical. I even changed the event file name in the patched line from 
event.ics to event-test.ics to make sure that the changes were taking 
affect.

Feels like I'm missing something obvious here... but I can't figure it 
out.

Thanks.
