.vcs file inline attachment

I am generating a .vcs file from a web application. The user downloads it,
and can import it into his outlook. In the specification of vCalendar, there
is a property called ATTACH, that allows to embed a binary file (encoded in
base64) inside the .vcs file. I would like to know if Outlook supports this
ATTACH property, because I haven't been able to get it to work, and I can not
figure out if this is because the .vcs file is not correctly formatted or
Outlook does not support this property.
The generated .vcs, without the inline attachment is successfully imported
into outlook.

Thanks,
Juan Pablo

I'm not convinced that Outlook supports the ATTACH parameter in a VCS file.
Did you try an ICS file? I'll see if I can find out for you.

I was never able to get a definitive response from Microsoft, but I still
believe the answer is that it isn't supported.
