(Calendar :: E-mail based Scheduling (iTIP/iMIP), defect)

Description

[Jason Oster (:Parasyte)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080207 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: 2007102303

My boss forwarded an email he received which contained a VCAL event attachment. The email was forwarded as an attachment. On my end, I now have an email with two attachments: the VCAL, and the forwarded email. The latter also has a copy of the VCAL attachment.

Lightning detects the first VCAL attachment and woks fine. Double clicking on the forwarded email attachment will open that email in a new window where Lightning will then throw the following error, as it sees the VCAL sub-attachment.

Comment 1

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

What Lightning version do you use? What Thunderbird version do you use?

Comment 2

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

It would be probably helpful too if you could export the entire email from Thunderbird and attach it here.

Comment 3

[Jason Oster (:Parasyte)]

Thunderbird: latest stable Ubuntu Gutsy build: "Gutsy  (2.0.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1): main/web"

Lightning: latest stable Linux x86 version available from mozilla.org: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2313

I am not sure where else to find the requested information about the build versions.


About attaching the email, I will mark it on my TODO list for tomorrow when I get into work.

Comment 4

[Jason Oster (:Parasyte)]

Attachment: Example email shows the problem

Comment 5

[Jason Oster (:Parasyte)]

This bug also appears in the following Ubuntu builds:

2.0.0.8~pre071022+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10

2.0.0.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10.0

Comment 6

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

I can confirm the error message by opening the attached .eml file using Lightning 0.8pre (2008022908) + Thunderbird 2.0.0.13pre (2008022903) on Windows XP.

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMsgMessageService.messageURIToMsgHdr]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://lightning/content/imip-bar.js :: getMsgImipMethod :: line 205"  data: no]

Comment 7

[Pete Riley]

Using Lightning 0.9pre 2008-08-21 18 / Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 / WinXP

I receive this error every time that Thunderbird downloads meetings invitations, it doesn't matter if I'm in the Inbox when Thunderbird downloads it, and it doesn't matter if the invitation is from Lightning or Outlook 2007:

Error: convertToHTML: Cannot create itipItem: TypeError: msgUrl.msgWindow has no properties
Source File: file:///C:/Data/Databases/Thunderbird/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/components/lightningTextCalendarConverter.js
Line: 235

I don't receive the additional errors that the other bug posters mentioned.

(I'm curious why Lightning parses all downloaded mail.  I would think that Lightning would wait until the user clicks on an invitation email.)

Comment 8

[Bas van den Bosch]

@Pete, I think this is the invitation-counter searching for unanswered invites?

Comment 9

[Jason Oster (:Parasyte)]

The error message is different with Thunderbird 2.0.0.17/Lightning 0.9, but the general problem remains; no blue invitation bar above the message body (instead, it shows above the message body in the _Preview Pane_ and not in the new message window ... even if the message in the preview pane belongs to an entirely different message or account!)

For reference, here are the errors that show up when opening the attached^ .eml file while the Preview Pane is hidden (by selecting the account name instead of a folder, so that the common tasks page appears) ~

Error: msgHdr.folder has no properties
Source File: chrome://lightning/content/imip-bar.js
Line: 349

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIMessenger.msgHdrFromURI]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://lightning/content/imip-bar.js :: getMsgRecipient :: line 335"  data: no]
Source File: chrome://lightning/content/imip-bar.js
Line: 335


FWIW, with a message displayed in the Preview Pane, only the first error message is logged.


I can't seem to gather the full build IDs for Thunderbird/Lightning, if those would be helpful to anyone, just let me know how I can get this information! Thanks.

Jason, is this still anissue with Lightning 3.3.1?

Comment 11

[Jason Oster (:Parasyte)]

@MakeMyDay Sorry, I'm no longer using Thunderbird/Lightning.

Comment 12

[[:MakeMyDay]]

Thanks, Jason.
