GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 795209
Make it possible to not send meeting invitation reply

Bug 705700 is a RFE to allow us to edit a reply to a meeting invitation on Exchange EWS. However, I think it also should allow us to not send a reply.
Forgot to add, reproduction steps and why it's important. Steps: 1) Have Exchange Account with EWS. 2) Have someone send you a meeting invite. 3) In Outlook and OWA, there is a button "edit before sending reply" or "do not send response" under accept and decline (I think tenative too). Evolution only sends a response if EWS. 705700 was requesting the "edit before sending reply" and this bug is a RFE for "do not send response". Why it's important: Because this is a feature parity for Outlook and allows to accept invites without notifying the sender. There are some times in my life I want to do this, or maybe add some comments.
Thanks for a bug report. Even it'll require some changes on the evolution side too (maybe also in eds), then it's primarily evolution-ews bug, thus I'm moving it there.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-ews/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
