           Summary: kmail sends a response to RFC2445 invitations even
                    when not requested.
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: vectro at vectro.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This bug is in regards to a violation of RFC2445 § 4.2.17 by the KDEPIM suite.
I think the bug should go to kmail, but I apologize if I have misfiled.

The RFC is here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2445.html

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Start Microsoft Outlook 2007. Create a "Meeting Request" and add a kmail
user.
2. Browse to Meeting ... Attendees ... Responses ... and uncheck "Request
Responses"
3. Send the meeting request.
4. In Kmail, open the message. Observe that the invitation contains a line such
as
"ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;RSVP=FALSE;CN=invitee at example.com;MAILTO:invitee at example.com",
which is RFC2445 compliant.
5. Click "Accept".

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
1. The event is added to the korganizer calendar.
2. No response is sent.

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:
1. The event is added to the korganizer calendar.
2. A response is sent.

Finally, note that RFC2445 specifies that the default is "FALSE", so really no
response should be sent unless (1) the user is explicitly listed as an
attendee, and (2) the ATTENDEE line specifies RSVP=TRUE. I guess we could also
allow the user to override this rule and send a response even if not requested
or if the user is unlisted.

See also bug 216843 regarding the sending of event acceptance responses.
