VALARM-tag in .vcs-file is not imported in Outlook

[Tom Tom via OfficeKB.com]

Hi There

I have a .vcs-file containing a meeting and a reminder. I can only import
the meeting in Outlook 2000, but the reminder ist not stored in Outlook.
If I take a .ics-file the import works and both, the meeting and the
reminder is stored in Outlook.

Is the tag VALARM not supported in .vcs version 1.0?
I also used TRIGGER:VALUE with and without a hiphen - but without success.
Also a tag called DALARM is not imported.

Do you have any idea?
Help is much appreciated.

Tom

VALARM was added in 2.0 and Outlook 2000 does not gracefully ignore that parameter.

The which tag can be used for creating alarm in .vcs file for outlook 2003. So that it overriddes the default settings for reminder.
