134933 - Mail Calendar Event menu item should conform rfc2447 iMip

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: E-mail based Scheduling (iTIP/iMIP), defect)

Description

[Dan Parent]

This menu item needs some functionality added to it.  Right now the data still
has to be pulled from the calendar and be automatically placed in the body of a
message compose window.  Format should be selectable based on the recipients
favoured groupware app.  Since there is a description of how Outlook handles
sending out meeting requests perhaps I'll look into formatting it in that manner
first (see bug 59630).  This is for sending out appointments only.

Attachment: open composer with values filled for a calendar event

This patch opens composer and fills in all fields except for who the event is
to be sent to.	This is a first run, feel free to comment on its functionality.

Attachment: next step towards iMip calendar event sending

Currently missing:
- method= as part of the mime type header
- absolutely no s/mime even considered yet
- need a way to get around having to create a temp file in the user's profile
directory, ideally getting ical info would be as easy as using an URL so that I
could pass that URL to nsIMsgAttachment.url

Methods added in CVS for Mozilla 1.2.
We can now do:
  nsIMsgAttachment.contentType = "text/calendar";
  nsIMsgAttachment.contentTypeParam = "method=request";
  nsIMsgAttachment.charset = "UTF-8";

Sending iMIP events from the event dialog is possible by now. Nominating for WFM.
