Sorry - I meant in KRONOLITH I can nowhere see who sent me the meeting, I
was incorrect. Given that is my calendar app, that is a fundamental flaw.

LOL - that's a 7 year old request. I somehow doubt that will see any action
in a hurry.

Probably more critical this passes through to ActiveSync meetings.
Accepting a meeting request enters it in Kronolith with no Organizer.
Kronolith syncs that meeting request to AS devices with no organizer, i.e.
an appointment not a meeting.

How hard would it be for Kronolith to retain that Organizer field into the
database, and then provide it to AS for syncing?

----- End forwarded message -----

For list discussion -

Kronolith does not retain Organizer information in an accepted meeting  
request.

This results in the following:

1. Once you have accepted a meeting invite in Imp, and it's been put  
into Kronolith, there is no way to tell in Kronolith who the invite  
came from
2. You can't change your response back to the Organizer without  
finding the original invitation email
3. This is the big one for me - ALL meetings that either you accept in  
Kronolith, or that you accept on an ActiveSync device that then syncs  
back to Kronolith, lose Organizer information. On an iOS device this  
means they show as an appointment, not a meeting (i.e. no "From" or  
"Invitees").

With H6 I am kicking up our use of Calendars and AS as it is so much  
more robust, but I see this as a major shortcoming to serious use.

So, open to discussion, does anyone else see this as an issue, and  
anyone smart enough to help fix it?
