Importing Calendar items to outlook

I have a delimited text file to work with (yea).

The appointment subject, date and times import but the required attendees and meeting organizer do not.

I have googled and grouped and searched and can only find that other people have had the same problem...since 2003 at least... but never any solution.

I even tried exporting from outlook and then importing the outlook generated file. I get the same results. (One would think that outlook could read its own file.)

Any ideas? I would even go for a definitive it is broken and microsoft likes it that way.
