tracking bug for Outlook interoperability lossage
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:04:26 UTC
This is a tracking bug for things we do or don't do to interoperate with Outlook. It's secret for now, so don't explicitly make any other bugs depend on it. Without even getting into most icalendar issues: TNEF support (bug 200232, although we don't ship gtnef yet, and we don't support meeting/task requests over TNEF) Dealing with broken use of multipart (bug 202741) No Content-ID in multipart/mixed (bug 210032) multipart/alternative meeting requests (bug 211573) is WONTFIX because of Outlook bugs (bug 214705) Support windows charsets declared as ISO charsets (bug 212631) We don't do inline pgp. Outlook doesn't do PGP/MIME. (bug 217540, bug 217541) Problem with commas in TZIDs (bug 220076) "tentative" and "out-of-office" meeting statuses aren't available (http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22448) iCalendar vs CDO task statuses (bug 225711 and others) vcard forwarding problems (http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26799) "don't pgp sign imip messages" (bug 228737) icalendar task attachments crash Outlook (http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=30638)
Christine: this is the "reasons we should have an Outlook-compat mode" tracking bug
Sounds like 2.0?
Um... I don't know. This is a large-ish change and it hasn't been discussed.
Retargeting 1.5.3->1.5.4 bug reports. Sorry for the spam.
Nothing on the list thats left is 2.0.
adding more stuff, retargetting from 2.1 to 2.3. most of this has to be tested and checked (adding qa keyword). Bug 272973 - Forwarded meeting notices from Outlook hide sender Bug 269398 - Displaying messages from Outlook users: font size, smileys Bug 269152 - Work-around for MS Outlook/Lookout that use X-MimeOLE (not *that* important) Bug 266442 - Evolution unable to exchange meeting invitations with Outlook Bug 250061 - Evolution not displaying text formating for Outlook 2003 emails Bug 250026 - Evolution not indenting bulleted lists from Outlook 2003 Bug 250030 - bullets not displayed in message sent from Outlook 2003 Bug 236953 - Outlook incorrectly displaying html messages created in or replied to in Evolution Bug 235580 - Evo not handling Outlook recurring mtg. changes well Bug 228469 - all-day meeting requests show up wrong in Outlook Bug 219349 - calendar RSVP -- outlook compatibility
Bug 249869 - Extra line breaks in HTML mail sent by Outlook
retargetting to 2.5

removing old target milestone.
Is this bug still useful to anyone? As comment #1 says, this bug was originally about having a global "Outlook compatible / Rest-of-the-universe compatible" mode, which AFAIK has not been on the table since the pre-Novell days.
Bumping version to a stable release.
