PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:urn:uuid: or PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:mailto:
*The problem:*
When I reply to an event invitation, an email with an .ics with my reply is sent with my local Mail.app. But it is not accepted by the inviters local iCal. Note: iCal local is version 4.0.4 (1395) on both inviter and invitee user account.
I've looked for diffences between what local iCal sent before switching to iCal server. Here's what I found in the .ics that's sent:
iCal local used to send: PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:mailto:my@email.com
iCal on server sends: PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:urn:uuid:38BCCE7F-D85C-4C17-872E-5C3CFFFB4838
(And around 30 lines before/after that)
If I manually edit the .ics and
change the :urn:uuid:38BCCE7F-D85C-4C17-872E-5C3CFFFB4838 part
to :mailto:my@email.com
save a new .ics and send that to the invitee, the status is correctly updated in his local iCal.
It looks like the ivitees local iCal does not recognize me as an invitee and thus does not update the reply status from my@email.com.
If I reply to an invitation from Mozillas Lightning calendar, the inviters Lightning calendar updates like this:
1. my@email.com has not yet replied
2. urn:uuid:38BCCE7F-D85C-4C17-872E-5C3CFFFB4838 has replies
+(although this user was not invited)+
Question:
1. Is there a way to get my iCal to send a reply which is understood by local iCal (and preferably also other calendar clients such as Outlook, Lightning and Sunbird?)
2. Can I manually change the template local iCal uses to generate the reply .ics file?
