[OX User] Notification from Outlook not OX

Hello!

Is it possible to activate notifications for Outlook (2002/XP) + OXLook
users only.
The notification when creating new appointments should then be handled
by Outlook. I know I need to disable the iCalendar attachment to prevent
to create duplicates of the appointment (found this in the OX-Forums).
What I couldn't find was a setting to enable Outlook notifications.

I know I can turn on serverside notifications by editing the options in
/etc/ox/groupware/calendar but I don't want to enable it for every OX
user.

Current behaviour:
The internal addressbook is set as default addressbook in Outlook.
If I create a new appointment and add the groupware users (participants)
to this appointment those user will get the appointment in their
calendar but they are not informed. Outlook simply doesn't send any
notifications.

Current workaround:
The user creates the appointment in Outlook and adds the participants.
Then he opens the webinterface, opens the just created appointment and
enables the checkbox "Teilnehmer benachrichtigen"/"Inform Participants".
The participants then get a "appointment changed" notification.

Current setup:
OX v0.8.0-6
OXLook v3.8.9, v4.0.18 and v4.2.7 (for WM5 users)

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Jürgen Ulbts
