Outlook 2007 & iCal feeds

Is anyone successfully using an iCal feed from RT 3.8.x in Outlook 2007?
Because the URL I am given does not end in .ics it does not want to work.

Mozilla Sunbird picks up the iCal feed just fine.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft.

If using Apache, you might be able to finagle something with RewriteRule
to map non-existent ics onto actual URI

Well, I found a number of other problems:

I can’t get Outlook 2007 to subscribe to the RSS feed either (it isn’t
happy with the format).

Safari on a Mac does not handle the RSS feed. It gives me an error that
the feed is in a format it can not understand.

iCal on the Mac is unable to subscript to the iCalendard feed as it
thinks the URL is malformed as well.

FireFox and SunBird seem to work, but I can’t find anything else that works.
