Description Sabine Faure 2010-05-02 22:33:21 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Launch KOrg
- Go to Settings menu/Configure KOrganizer...
- Click on 'Group Scheduling' icon
- Check the 'Use Groupware communication' check box (if not checked by default)
- Configure the Mail transport part of the dialogue properly
- Click on 'Ok'
- Create a new event
- Click on 'Send email'
- In the attendee tab, add another attendee (for example you personal email address)
- Click on 'Ok'

You should receive an invitation to the event at you personal email address but atm nothing happens the attendee does not receive any invitation.

I am setting this bug as High priority since it prevent me from testing all the other functionality using attendees (I do not receive any email invitation)

Hi Sabine,

Does regular mail sending work for you in kmail? Could you open kmail, and look in your Local Folders -> Outbox folder, and see if there is an invitation there that has not been sent?

thanks :)

Hej Sabine,

sending the invitation works fine here with KDE SVN trunk.

Ciao,
Tobias

It is corrected now.

I retested this today and the invitations are properly sent.

Whats about the mime-type ?

When I use this function it sends a mail (configured to send directly through sendmail), but the mail's content-type is text/plain.
To be able to communicate with other groupware software the mail should either be mime/multipart, text/plain + text/calendar ( preferred)
or a simple text/calendar mail.

When I reviewed bug reports of korganizer, I found reports from 2007 with attached text/calendar mails obviously send by that old korganizer stuff.
