Importing .ics into Lotus Notes 8

A number of times I get calender invites for meetings on my non-Lotus notes email IDs. The calender invites are normally in the .ics format. Once can easily import it into Lotus Notes. Here is how:

1. Compose a mail inside notes
2. Attach the .ics file to it
3. Right click the attachment, and click on "View"
4. The calender view would open, with the meeting details. Now accept/decline the invite, save and exit

Voila, the entry gets saved to your calender. Ofcourse, there might be other ways to achieve this in notes :-)
