Outlook vCalendar emails

Post by bhurter »

I have some people sending me emails for meetings and con calls using Outlook vCalendar. The emails are almost unreadable and seem to be written in code.

I read that Thunderbird has an add-on called Lightning that solves this problem for Thunderbird. Is there a similar add-on for Seamonkey?

Lightning is also available for Seamonkey.
In Add-on Manger search for Lightning and install it :)

Actually, Lightning now comes installed by default in Seamonkey.

Checking the Add-on Manager, I could not find Lightning, only Lightning Nightly Updater which does not appear to be the correct add-on.

When I went to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamon ... lightning/ it says that Lightning is "Not available for Seamonkey 2.46"

Clicking on Add to Seamonkey, the following message comes up:

There are beta versions newer than the version listed. I think one of these will work on SeaMonkey 2.46.

Thanks for the link. Installed 5.1b1 and it seems to be working okay.

The bug with unreadable invitation emails is:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1334937

Won't be fixed in the upcoming Beta 2.48 but should be in the final version if the current fix works without side effects. First one had to be backed out fast :)

As a workaround install Lightning. This allso affects Thunderbird if Lightning is not installed.
