Running Evolution 2.2.1.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Evolution. 2. Select a message with an attached meeting.ics file. Actual Results: "The item in the calendar is not valid" message is displayed. Expected Results: Evolution should display the option of responding to the meeting invitation in the message body. Further, my calendar should be udpated based on the action I take (accept/reject the meeting request).

I don't know if this is at all applicable, but it looks like some code that may be affiliated with this problem was patched. http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution-patches/2005-March/009909.html
Just searching Ximian's Bugzilla, this looks like it may be the problem: http://bugs.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=73956
As was described in the Ximian bug, I was able to save the .ics files out to my hard disk and then import them into my local calendar without a problem. This is definitely an upstream bug. I'm going to resolve this as "Upstream". I hope this is OK.
This bug is closed upstream: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=73844 There is a simple patch for this so maybe this should go into an -r1. The patch can be found at: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=14727 Evolution compiles fine with this patch and displays calendar items properly.
Created attachment 54993 [details, diff] evolution-2.2.1-itip-formatter.patch
Created attachment 55035 [details] evolution-2.2.1.1-r1.ebuild I modified the e-build to include the patch. 1.) Save the ebuild to /usr/portage/mail-client/evolution. 2.) Save the evolution-2.2.1-itip-formatter.patch to your /usr/portage/mail-client/evolution/files directory. 3.) Change to the /usr/portage/mail-client/evolution folder. 4.) Run ebuild evolution-2.2.1.1-r1.ebuild digest 5.) emerge mail-client/evolution Problem solved :-) You
Probably would have been a good idea for this to go in before evolution 2.2.1.1 was marked stable. I synced over the weekend (6/26/05) and no sign of the -r1 ebuild.
