User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2

When Lightning accepts an event invitation, the response email to the event organiser has a sender address of event organiser rather than event recipient. This is happening for Outlook 2007 generated events. Outlook 2003 generated events appear to be fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. user A ( outlook 2007 ) sends user B ( TBird/Lightning ) an event request
2. user B accepts ( select calendar for this event ) and email is sent ( support outlook 2000 and 2002/xp )
3. user A checks response email and it comes from himself instead of user B


Expected Results:  
Email response for accept/decline to user A should come from user B and not user A

It happens also on Windows XP.

Analising the attached ics event confirmation sent in step 2 there is a line:

X-MS-OLK-SENDER;CN=user A Name:mailto:user A mail

Where "user A Name" is the real name and "User A mail" is the mail address of user A sending the original invitation.

Saving the step 2 ics file removing the line and sending the modified ics file seems to solve the problem.

Does it exist any permanent fix?

Is this still an issue using the recently released Lightning 1.0?
