           Summary: iCalendar invitations/replies: Accentued chars in some
                    fields makes Outlook crap out
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: colin colino net


Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I noticed that Outlook craps out and displays the raw message/rfc822 mail as plain/text, including headers, when an iCalendar invitation, reply, or Free/busy information has an ORGANIZER or ATTENDEE field with a CN attribute that contains extended chars (like umlauts, etc).

This is clearly an Outlook bug, but maybe you'll be interested in knowing that and/or put a workaround.

I'll attach two ICS files, one with "Gaël" as ATTENDEE, one with "Gael".
