I wouldn't like that too much, but that a personal opinion. In  
general, that link would have to be generated by the entity sending  
the invitation.

If that sending entity would be Horde/kronolith, it would have to  
detect that the destination email address is actually linked with a  
(local) kronolith calendar, else "ugly" (broken) links would be  
contained in the HTML part of the e-mail, that just serve to confuse  
the receiving user.

Next, how should that receiving user's context be handled? Is an  
active login required? Would the resulting Horde page ask for a login  
if the user's currently not logged in? What if Horde's URL is  
different for different users? And so on...

A lot of things to check in advance - I wouldn't hold my breath ;) And  
generally, that's probably why it is usually considered the receiving  
MUA's task and not that of the sending one...

Jens
