User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071128 SeaMonkey/1.1.7
Build Identifier: 2007122004

When an invitation for an event is sent to self and we try to accept the invitation (which already exists when created) an error is popped saying "Invitation could not be processed. Status 21523333316 Details: ID already exists for addItem"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new event spanning a couple of hours and invite yourself to the event.
2. After you receive an e-mail message containing the invitation try to accept the invitation
Actual Results:  
An error is popped saying "Invitation could not be processed. Status 21523333316 Details: ID already exists for addItem"

Expected Results:  
A more user friendly message should be displayed. Something in the lines of "The event already exists in your calendar" or if you can provide some more options to the user something like "The event already exists in your calendar. Do you still want to add the event?". So, depending on the solution a more user friendly message should be displayed.

This is another incarnation of bug 361635 and has the same root cause.
