STR:
Thunderbird 91.7.0
- Have a Google a mail account set up in Thunderbird with associated calendar via caldav
- Receive an invite, but don't look at it straight away / wait a while whilst the calendars sync.
- View the invite
Expected Results
I should be able to accept/decline or respond appropriately.
Actual Results
The notification bar shows "This message contains an invitation to an event that has already been processed".
Notes
If I view the email early enough before the calendar sync, then I can accept/decline appropriately. However, if I've never responded to it (which I think at least Google calendar knows), I still should be able to respond directly from the email.
Bug 827279 seems to have fixed something similar to this quite a few years back.

TEST:
Windows 10 OS
Thunderbird : 91.7.0 (64bit)
I have Home calendar and google calendar added using built in functionality - not addon.
Just sent test Event invite from home calendar (sent via bt email address) to invite me as attendee at gmail email address.
Received email ok in gmail imap account.
Opened immediately on receiving - no delay.
The notification bar shows 'This message contains an event that has already been processed' and a 'Details' button
Title: go2
When: Date of event is tomorrow.
Organiser is me at non gmail address
Attendees is me on gmail address.
there is 1 attachment: invite.ics
No buttons of any of these description - no accept - no decline - no anything
At this point in email view- No idea how to add this to gmail calendar. No add to calendar option.
'Details' button opens the 'Edit Event' on 'Home' calendar.
Calendar (google/gmail) not showing anything at this point.
Log on to gmail webmail - able to see that invite is already on gmail calendar.
I could use the options to RSVP in webmail
In bt account receive email - this message contains a reply to invite' plus 'Update' button
Click on 'Update' button and it becomes 'Details' button.
In Thunderbird - sync calendar and can now see it added to gmail calendar in Thunderbird.
But can only perform an accept or decline via logging on to gmail webmail account.
Cannot respond directly from received invite email.

I've heard a couple other people mention this. Regression?

In this bug, I guess the request is that when we have an already processed event, we should still get the accept/decline etc. buttons.
(That the event was added to the calendar doesn't mean an RSVP was sent.)

AFAIK, not a regression.
Take a look at bug 827279. This does seem to be a regression. I don't see the behavior described here consistently though. It works as intended for me most times.

I am able to reproduce consistently with the following steps:
- On a second Gmail account, invite the first to an event; ensure that the event happens soon enough and is configured so that a reminder will be triggered immediately upon receipt of the event. Send invite emails.
- Synchronize email so that the invite email arrives.
- Synchronize calendar so that the event appears on the calendar and a reminder is triggered.
- Dismiss the reminder.
- Open the invite email.

Hi, now that Bug 1756547 has landed, can you see if you still experience this on trunk?

It does seem to be showing accept/decline etc rather than details. However, something I have noticed is that in accepting (or otherwise) invitations, it is generally saying that I'm not on the invite list, even though my email address is clearly listed on the email. Could this be related to the patch that landed in that bug?

I can't recall the bug but I noticed this too a while ago. It should have stopped now?
