Hello List:

I use IceDove to manage my emails. Today I got a message with an ICS (Calendar) attachment.
IceOwl detects the event: a banner ``This message contains an invitation to an event' is printed.
But, amazingly, I can not figure out a way to make IceOwl register the event:
any idea ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

It should be handled (added) automatically by the calendar, at least
that's what happens with "iceowl-extension".

Do you have the ".ics" mimetype associated to IceOwl?

P.S. Consider a replacement for IceOwl (Sunbird) because AFAICT is not
being maintained upstream anymore.

iceowl-extension is installed

I guess not: how can I check that part of the Story ?

This is true.

What is the suggested replacement ?

Jerome

Oops, then IceOwl should not be needed.

Mmm... as you have "iceowl-extension" this one has to process the ICS
attached files, that's what happens in my case (note that I have no
Sundbird nor IceOwl installed but the calendar extension) which makes me
wonder if the ICS file you received was properly formatted.

Run a quick test by sending to yourself an invitation to a self-created
event and check how it goes.

For the Mozilla project I guess the former successor is Lightning (i.e.,
"iceowl-extension") but you can look for another standalone calendar app.

I've read that before. Ubuntu dumped it for that reason. I can't find a
good *stand alone* replacement. Any suggestions?

If you don't want the integrated calendar (iceowl-extension with
icedove) you might want to look at osmo. I've often thought that I'd
wind up using it if the iceowl-extension went goodbye the way iceowl did.

This is a good idea indeed :-;

I sent to an other address of mine an invitation, but there was no ICS attachment:
is it expected ?
how can we attach an ICS invitation ?



and check how it goes.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it out.
