When an outlook/exchange apointment request is sent, it sends the invitation as
a multipart email, where the text is content-type: text/plain; & the invitation
is in Content-type: text/calendar; and then the following text is in the
standard vcalendar format.  This standard is documented in RFC#2447 for
embedding a vCalendar in an multipart email.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send email with meeting request from Outlook.
2. Open email in Thunderbird.  
Actual Results:  
Text is intach, but vCal file is not shown as attachment.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should at least display the vCalendar file as an attachment (like
iMail), as text when optionally selected (like pine), or ideally would be
integrated with Sunbird (like Outlook).

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2447.txt is the link to RFC 2447
dupe of bug 59630, by way of dup bug 151240. It's in the calendar project, but
MailNews & Thunderbird should benefit from it too.
