Steps to reproduce:

i generated a mail with 2 appointments inside (multipart-message) or as 2 attachments or as 1 attachment ics-file.



Actual results:

2 appointments in 1 "vcalender" it will show only the first but the second will transfer to the calender following errormessage appear "Beim Schreiben in den Kalender rest ist ein Fehler aufgetreten! (translate: "while writing in the calender rest occur a error").
The same with one attachmentfile(4371Zd.ics)
2 appointments in 2 differnt "vcalender" in one part of the multipart-message the same happend.
2 appointments in 2 differnt attachmentfile both will be show in the massage, but only the second comes in the calendar.
2 appointments in 2 differnt "vcalender" in two differnet parts of the multipart-message the same happend.

In every this 5 cases it it will be writing at the top of the massage, "Diese Nachricht enthält einen Termin" (translate: "This message contains one appointment") (red coircle in the left upper corner of the picture)

I use TB 38.5.1 Lightning 4.0.5.2 Language "de"
I have try with all other addons und plugins deactived and actived.
I validate the ical data per ica validator (http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/)
it is all correct.
Sorry for the bad english.

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

The notification message doesn't take the amount of events into account. Fallen, should this bug be wontfixed (combinations of recurring and one-time events would be nightmarish)?

Adding two appointments into one imip email is not supported per spec, which I believe says the UID must be the same for all events. I don't think this is supported in other calendaring apps either. I'd suggest generating one email per appointment. If you can find calendaring spec that says it is allowed I am happy to reconsider.

e.q. Outlook display both appointments

 I think RFC6047 4.4 - 4.5(6) discribe this problem exactly.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6047#section-4.4

4.4 two appointments in one calendar in one mail
4.5 two appointments in two calendar in one mail
