Is it possible to automate export and e-mail?

[kiranpatil]

Plans is awesome as it is.... but I'd like to take it a step further and I know I cannot be the first person to have this idea:

I want to automatically export to X format (I need .ics) and attach it to an e-mail that is automatically sent to people on a particular list.

The advantage would be mind blowing for people who use my calendar. It means semi-automatic syncing of their personal calendars on Outlook 2003 and their blackberries or whatever. All they would have to do is double click on the attachment and voila! Instant sync.

Basically I want to cut out the part where people have to GO to the calendar online, choose the export option and then load up Outlook and then choose the file to import. That may not seem like a big deal to many of you - however it's a pain in the butt for busy people who are jetsetting around the world. Not to mention it can be confusing for those not internet savvy.

Has anyone done this succesfully? I don't know very much about programming - so I'm hoping someone else did it already.

Thanks in advance!
