Title:
  [6.1] Calendar mail invitations

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Confirmed

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
