Package: Evolution Priority: Major Version: 1.0.2 Synopsis: icalendar accept EVO->Outlook does not work Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: Mailer Description: i traced it down to the missing header (evo100 to evo1.0.2) Content-Disposition: inline; filename=calendar.ics -> with it outlook will do the update of the attendees. (What a program ;) also you changed (evo100 to evo102) Content-Type: multipart/mixed; bounda.... ^^^^^^ to Content-Type: multipart/alternative; bounda.... ^^^^^^^^^^ Outlook will not recognize this .... Unknown reporter: paul@7val.com, changed to bugbuddy-import@ximian.com.
This is a horrible unfortunate tradeoff we had to make: we could either be compatible with outlook-users-using-exchange or outlook-users-not-using-exchange. Since more scheduling is done in Exchange environments, we decided to side with them. (We didn't discover that Outlook behaves differently with icalendar in Workgroup and Internet Only modes until after 1.0 was released.) You can hack around the new behavior by setting the environment variable EVOLUTION_SEND_IMIP_AS_ATTACHMENT in evolution-calendar's environment (meaning you either have to start evolution-calendar separately, or make sure that it's set early enough in your login that it ends up in oafd's environment). We hope to have a fix that works for both modes of outlook in 1.2 (although as far as we can tell, even outlook doesn't do it 100% compatibly between different versions). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 214705 ***
