Title:
[6.1] Calendar mail invitations
Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
In Progress
Bug description:
When sending a mail invitation using the calendar module, the
generated ics dates (dtstart and dtend) do not have timezone
informations.
They have to be sent with timezone informations (UTC) to be correctly
handled.
When receiving an invitation with thunderbird, it's not possible to
reply, there's only an attachment (the ics file) and no way to respond
or to include the event into the calendar.
Looking at the rfc6047, which defines the calendar transport protocol, the vcalendar element must have a field "method" with value "request". Also, the exchange format must have a content-type set at "text/calendar" in the mail header.
(in fact the content type must also recall the method, but in thunderbird it works without it and it would be complicated to add this information in the mail module)
The simplest way, according to this rfc, is to to send only the
vcalendar in the mail, without html body. It's the way thunderbird do
it to send invitations compatible with Outlook.
Also, it resolves the problem that invitations are not translated.
I attach a patch for the revision 6645
