GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 274087
vCalendar email attachments broken in 2.2
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:03:39 UTC
Description of Problem: When I receive a vcal attachment, it is not displayed, but an error message is displayed saying: "The item in the calendar is not valid" "The message does contain a calendar, but the calendar contains no events, tasks or free/busy information" A little googling indicates that this message (and the likely source of the breakage) was recently inserted into plugins/itip-formatter/itip-formatter.c: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution-patches/2005-March/009909.html Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a meeting in the calendar 2. Add your email address to the participants list, so you'll get the RSVP email. 3. Try to look at the email with the vCalendar attachment Additional Information: This is evolution 2.2.1.1-0ubuntu1 from ubuntu hoary main. I've also submitted a bug to the ubuntu bugzilla. Here's the URL for cross-reference purposes: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8175
from the ubuntu bug: "------- Additional Comment #3 From Brett Johnson 2005-03-25 16:49 UTC [reply] ------- Created an attachment (id=41288) [edit] Test case email with vcalendar attachment Here's a meeting I just created that exhibits the behavior in my client." seems to happen for events not happening for a whole day
calendar code :)
I'm seeing the same error on all invites from the Exchange 2000 server at work. I can provide examples if needed.
Yes i am able to replicate this problem on Evolution 2.2.1 with IMAP. I used to get the meetings in my 'Calendar' folder but this meeting i got in my 'Inbox'.
Created attachment 45065 [details] Attached a screenshot of the error message

[Not sure which is the main bug report so deliberately cross-posting] Although the patch has been committed, this bug still occurs for evolution-2.2.3 (Gentoo evolution-2.2.3-r3)
