iCal calendar invitation not showing up as an attachment at all

Apologies. I gave a URI to a web page instead of the link location.

Mail.app



Postbox

I'm experiencing this same problem with Outlook meeting requests (whether or not view->"display attachments inline" is unchecked). There are really two issues I'm seeing:

1. The multipart/alternative isn't being correctly negotiated (even if view->"message body as" is specified to either HTML option I get the text/plain portion).
2. No calendar object is shown in attachments.

FWIW: Thunderbird doesn't have either of these issues (HTML is displayed and an ICS attachment is included).

I'm hoping to be able to use Postbox to get meeting requests into Sunbird without manually copying the information (the ability to send an accept/decline would simply be a bonus.)

I'm also having this problem...I think its when the invite comes from outlook/exchange.

scott: did you get a test email yet to debug?

the attachment is there if you view the message source:




--=***.****.***.com-#####-#########-###-#
Content-Type: text/calendar; method=REQUEST; name="meeting.ics"; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-class: urn:content-classes:calendarmessage
X-Mime-Autoconverted: from 8bit to 7bit by courier 0.53

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
METHOD:REQUEST
PRODID:Microsoft CDO for Microsoft Exchange
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:GMT -0800 (Standard) / GMT -0700 (Daylight)
BEGIN:STANDARD

Not sure how all this fits in, but the problem I'm having in Beta 10, Mac 10.5.6 is: The invitation correctly displays in the inspector panel. I can double click it, and it correctly displays in iCal.
The message body in Postbox however, displays the invitation as message source. EG: BEGIN:VCALENDAR &c.

Hopefully an integrated calendar in Postbox isn't far off. With proper exchange support. Postbox is a great app, but using it as your main mail client is somewhat of a compromise at present. I accept however it's a beta :)
