Attachments: kOrganizer-generated Calendar Invitation displayed in kMail. There is no way to accept the invitation.
Outlook-2010-generated invitation displayed in kMail. There's also no way to accept this invitation.

Description Gunter Ohrner 2017-02-12 10:57:11 UTC 
Since about kMail 5.4.2 or 5.4.1, iCal invitations sent by other calendar applications are displayed as raw inline text or attachments only.

kMail 5.4.0 and earlier displayed an invitation info message with clickable links to accept or decline the inviation, or whatever. This is gone now.

This is a major regression, as due to kOrganizer bug #352214 it's even not possible to import the invitation manually in a way which is actually usable...

Or maybe this is caused by a KDE Neon packaging problem?

Do you have kdepim-addons installed ?
Comment 4 Gunter Ohrner 2017-07-05 17:21:36 UTC 
No, I hadn't.

You already told me about this dependency concerning the kAddressbook problems I had, and after installing it it also fixed the issues I had with kMail.

I just forgot to close this bug.

However, it's not really obvious to the user that kdepim-addons will provide such features - maybe it would somehow be possible to point a user to it in future versions. I.e. in the empty kAddressbook menu entries "Action" etc. add an empty disabled menuentry "Install Addons for additional features" or similar... Similar with kMail Message Themes/Styles etc... But that's now a wishlist item...
