Summary	0003794: Meeting invites to MS Outlook 2007 do not work correctly
Description	When sending meeting invites to MS Outlook 2007 they are not displayed correctly with accept/reject/etc buttons at the top. Instead Outlook shows the html-message and a .ics -file as an attachment. I tested invite with Zimbra and that worked correctly. Zimbra is using a multipart message. MS Outlook Outlook 2007 itself doesn't use multipart when sending invites, it only sends the plain invite without a message. Finally I noted that Zimbra used "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;" instead of "content-type: multipart/mixed;". When I used the same raw mail that SoGo had sent (extracted directly from mailserver storage) and switched content type to "multipart/alternative", the mail showed up correctly in MS Outlook 2007. Another way to fix the issue was to use "multipart/mixed", but the multipart including the actual invite had to be the first part of the message for it to be processed by MS Outlook 2007. (currently the invite is the second part and html message is the first) Ie: ...headers... --separator Content-Type: text/calendar; charset=utf-8; method=REQUEST; name=meeting.ics Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit BEGIN:VCALENDAR ... --separator content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html> ... --separator
Steps To Reproduce	Invite user that has MS Outlook 2007 to attend a meeting.
