1753378 - Add details button to unprocessed event toolbar

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, enhancement)

Description

[Peter F [:peterfab]]

Attachment: The two information bars for the calendar invite.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

I received an email with the multipart/alternative content type, containing a text/calendar component, and wanted to know the details of the calendar event before accepting or declining the invitation.

Actual results:

The blue event invitation bar appeared, with the text "This message contains an invitation to an event" and buttons for accepting, tentatively accepting, declining, or saving the event to my calendar. See attachment.
No details about the event are visible anywhere in the window or through any of the button options without accepting the invitation. (No event details are present in the text of the message - the time and date, for example, are only contained in the event itself.)

Expected results:

There should have been a way to view the event details before either declining it or adding it to my calendar.
If the event is already in the calendar, the bar says "This message contains an event that has already been processed", and there is a button to view the event details instead of the accept/decline/more buttons (the imipDetailsButton as found in Searchfox). See attachment.
It would be ideal to have the invitation parsed in order to show details, like when the event has been added to the calendar.

Looks like I just didn't notice the event details dropdown menu, which is now pretty much impossible (version 91.6.1 expands it by default).
