Expected Results: Fix: Display as attachment. (alt fix: see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130119) Enhance: If a text/calendar type is detected, and Calendar(Sunbird) is integrated into Moz/Tbird, create a button/popup/icon in the window to export the text/calendar part into Calendar.

Is there some standard that says use first recognizable and ignore the rest? or is it an internal design decision for Moz? If I install a calendar plugin, can that plugin tell Moz to utilize text/calendar; types instead of text/plain; types? (If so, maybe I need to log this bug against the calendar/sunbird project, because they are not doing it.)

"<html> ...<meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Exchange Server"> ...<div> </div> ...</html>" Since Thunderbird without Lightning will ignore text/calendar, it correctly displays this blank html message. So i recommend that if Thunderbird sees text/calendar that at least it tells the user there is a preferred format. This gives the user the option of installing extensions. This could probably be added generically for any type of file.

Really, that sounds like an Exchange bug, since it's essentially lying by providing a blank part as an "alternative". However, this can be worked around via bug 602718. Personally, I think that's sufficient, since Exchange really needs to get their act together in this regard, and there's only so much that other clients should have to do to accommodate its broken behavior.

It is used by Outlook to display comments that accompany the invitation. In this specific case, I suggest this kind of mails (even if they arguably do not conform to all standards, as Microsoft occasionally does) should not be handled as multipart/alternative but rather as multipart/mixed.
