Package: claws-mail-vcalendar-plugin Version: 3.11.1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have been experimenting with Claws Mail for calendaring and found that when cancelling events as an organiser, Claws (or rather the vCalendar plugin) sends a mail with an inappropriate Content-Type parameter for the scheduling method. According to RFC 6047 (iMIP)... "The [RFC2045] "Content-Type" header field MUST also include the MIME parameter "method". The value MUST be the same (ignoring case) as the value of the "METHOD" property within the iCalendar object." http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6047#section-2.4 However, in a cancellation object, METHOD will be CANCEL, and thus the Content-Type must also employ a method parameter with the value "CANCEL". Instead, Claws' vCalendar plugin seems to use "REQUEST". The upstream code that is probably responsible for this is here: http://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=blob;f=src/plugins/vcalendar/vcal_manager.c;h=a21c6a859f888fa3f8950e381dc4f9122e9903f3;hb=HEAD#l1238 Here is what is produced: Content-Type: text/calendar; method=REQUEST; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-ID: <[email protected]> BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION :2.0 PRODID :-//Claws Mail//NONSGML Claws Mail Calendar//EN CALSCALE :GREGORIAN METHOD :CANCEL Note the mismatch between the Content-Type method value and the iCalendar METHOD property. I hope this is informative! Apologies in advance if I should have reported this directly upstream.
