User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 Build Identifier: Lightning 0.7 main release thunderbird version 2.0.0.4 (20070604) When I receive an invitation from Microsoft Exchange V6.5 Lightning formats it. The headers are wonderful, but the text/Description of the invitation is garbled. Newlines are missing weblinks are not marked as such: altogether unreadable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. receive an invitation from Exchange and open it Actual Results: I see nice headings and then garbled text Expected Results: Text should be unformated or properly formated, weblinks should be presented as such.

There's a similar problem when I receive an invitation from Outlook 2007 (so it's not just a problem with MS Exchange). I also don't think that this bug is specific to Linux because I use WinXP.

Confirmed based on the attached email. If I remove the calendar part from the email, the link is displayed correctly. I'm not sure if we want to display the html-version of an multipart/alternative message below the invitation box. Of course, also http:// addresses in the DESCRIPTION field could be recognized as such and displayed as a link.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
The formating of the text using basic whitespace chars like new-line, spaces and tabs should also be preserved. They work fine in a normal email, why are these whitespaces collapsed when formatting as an invitation?
+1 I would like to see plain text formatting preserved.

The 0.8 release now preserves the event formating, at least for me. html links are presented correctly, however it is still not possible to click-on them to open them.

This patch improves the situation. Links are linkified in the COMMENT and DESCRIPTION fields. Unfortunately, the text converter stuff from thunderbird is not scriptable, so we need to roll our own or consolidate between the two apps.

Improvement checked in, if you are inclined to fix this using a nsIStreamConverter and it becomes possible to use it (synchronously), or there is another way to do the mime conversion asynchronously, go ahead.
