Google calendar sync'd to iCal sends me 2 email every reminder. How to stop

I've got my Google calendar sync'd to iCal in Mac OS X 10.6.4. The problem is, if I set a reminder email in Google, that apparently gets sync'd to iCal. So every time Google sends me a reminder email, iCal does the same thing. How do I get iCal to ignore this setting for the syn'c Google calendar and stop sending me a duplicate reminder email?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Very annoying indeed. This problem has been discussed in other threads:

A solution is John Maisey's iCal Reply Checker.

Hi,

There is another option to stop iCal sending all alarms from all events in one calendar. Select (highlight) the calendar from iCal's calendar list, press Cmd-I and from the information for that calendar check the 'ignore alarms' check box.

Best wishes
