Attached file test.eml

Steps to reproduce:

I received an email with an ICS attachment.
For better reproducibility, I saved it as an EML file and stripped the personal info. It's attached. Just open the EML file in TB.

Actual results:

The email is displayed, the attachment is visible. I can double-click the attachment and the "import event" dialog is displayed. However, there was no invitation toolbar in the message header, that I can see in other email invitations from Teams or from TB.
The invitation buttons, however, were correctly displayed in Gmail web interface.

Expected results:

The buttons such as "Accept", "Maybe", etc., should be displayed for the message.

Severity: -- → S3
Component: Untriaged → E-mail based Scheduling (iTIP/iMIP)
Product: Thunderbird → Calendar

The sample shows as an invitation (with buttons etc.) for me.

This is how the test.eml looks on my TB 102.7.1

This is how other emails with invitations look OK.

OK, I've played with my settings and I found the reason. I didn't have the View - Display Attachments Inline option checked.

The other emails, that worked even without this setting, had in fact two identical ICS parts, but with different MIME:
1.

Content-type: text/calendar; method=REQUEST; charset=UTF-8
Content-transfer-encoding: 8BIT
Content-type: application/ics; name=invite.ics
Content-transfer-encoding: 8BIT
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=invite.ics

I'm OK now, as I enabled the setting. But maybe TB could display the invitation buttons regardless of this setting. But it's not a big deal.
