Add .ics event invitation file attachment to event-based emails

[smoyte]

From Bill Doster:

I really like the current meal shift email having the contact info for shift mates.

One thing that emails from the old system had was an .ics attachment that enabled adding a calendar event for that meal. I have things my mail readers setup to automatically add these events to my calendar. This is REALLY nice because my calender is available on both my desktop computer and my phone.

Along with the meal name, it also supplied who the cooks & cleaners were. I often was asked by diners who the meal's cooks or cleaners were, and I could with just a touch or two on my phone answer that.

Since all that info has been gathered for the email , couldn't the corresponding .ics rather easily be added to the email?
