Description Nick Thompson 2005-06-01 11:59:57 UTC

Version:           1.8 (using KDE KDE%203.4.0)
Compiler:          gcc%20version%203.2.3%2020030502%20%28Red%20Hat%20Linux%203.2.3-42%29%20

When invited to a company wide event via an e-mail invite with thousands of recipients, it's not polite for the inviter to receive thousands of acceptance e-mails in response. It should be possible to accept an invite (adding it to the calender) without sending an acceptance e-mail.

This might be a wish item I suppose, but its so critical that I have left it as a bug.

Actually the inviter should set "RSVP" to "no" in the invitation, which means 
that no answer is expected. I'm pretty sure Exchange does, by default, 
though. A workaround is to set mail sending to not send immediately, and weed 
out the unwanted replies from the outbox. Not pretty, but it works. I'm 
contemplating an option...

Well, it's really a wish.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.

Comment 7 Julian G 2012-08-20 09:27:08 UTC

It is still valid for Kmail2, but I'm unable to change any options of this ticket. Please move it to kmail2 and reopen it.

reopened in 2018 - I suspect a different bug this time - I'm sure it hasn't always been broken inbetween. 4O2792
