Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for making the patch. Maybe you could add the one-liner in 
kmkernel.cpp for sending invitations to the patch, and then we could 
check whether invitation sending, accepting, refusing, and changing is 
compatible with all 'supported' environments for which we can find 
someone to test. If it turns out that, e.g., Outlook 98-2003 using 
POP/IMAP should use the behaviour from the current 'legacy' options, we 
need to make a legacy group.

It seems to me we should try to maintain interoperability with the 
following:
- Kontact native
- Kontact + kolab
- Kolab native (does that exist?)
- Outlook 98, 2000, XP, 2003 native (using POP3 or IMAP)
- Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2003 with Outlook Web Access (which is the web 
interface running on the Exchange server)
- The full 4x3 matrix of Outlook 98,2000,XP,2003 connected to Exchange 
5.5, 2000, 2003 (using MAPI).
- Gnome Evolution

and maybe

- OpenGroupware
- eGroupware
- phpGroupware
- more?

I've filled in the cases that have I've tried or that have been 
confirmed on this list so far in the matrix at the end of this e-mail. 
If we can manage to fill in the matrix as much as possible, we can 
determine which compatibility/legacy groups should be made.

So, if anyone recognises themselves in one of the client(/server) 
configurations below, please let me or Thorsten know so we can send you 
test invitations!

By the way, I like Thorstens idea of per-recipient legacy settings. I 
have no idea how difficult to implement this would be though. I'm afraid 
that the address book entry of the recipient, or recipients (!), which 
would contain the per-recipient settings, is not available in 
Callback::mailICal, nor in KMKernel::openComposer. Which would mean that 
the legacy setting should be somehow transported down the call chain to 
these two methods...

Cheers,

Jan-Pascal
