What does kolabfilter do with Outlook iCal messages?

Correct, that is the default setting.

Sounds strange but I admit I don't know Outlook very well. Does the  
Exchange server rewrite the mails, too? Or does Outlook connected to  
an Exchange really send the mails in a different format?

If the invitations already have the text/calendar part as attachment  
than that option won't do anything. Deactivating the option will mean  
you deactivate the rewriting from inline to attachment. But once your  
mail contains more than one part it will not be touched anyway.

So if I understand the scenario you describe correctly then this  
setting should have no effect for you.

Cheers,

Gunnar
