Having just received an Exchange invite (with a Western E uropean
timezone identifier), I can confirm this works flawlessly in
Horde4/Imp5 - the appointment is added to the calendar and the reply
is sent.

In my Horde5/Imp6 install, I have the error that the it cannot
communicate with the server when trying to add the invite to the
calendar and additionally that  no From: address is set when trying to
notify the sender (whether with or without adding it to the calendar).

So, whilst Michael may be correct in his assertions about what's
technically correct (and I would have been astounded if that weren't
the case), this did work, and now doesn't.  And as such it's a block
for me moving this system to production.

Sadly, I can't past the invite in the format that Oscar or Brent did.

I can tell you the HTML/plaintext component is:

--_000_190255358B1DC84A867BC434FF4BC83F873F27RTGMX03intranetlo_

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

For the record, I also note that in Imp5 I see three parts - one
plaintext of the above, one HTML part of the above and one HTML part
of the entire invite.  In Imp6, I see only the HTML part of the entire
invite unless I view the source.

Lastly, would it possible to automatically delete invite mails once
the reply is sent and the invite added to the calendar as Outlook can
be configured to do?

Thanks.
