[Citadel Support] Re: Thunderbird/Lightning changes "from" for all shared calendar items

 This is a side effect of the fact that when you update a calendar in 
Lightning, it uploads the entire calendar, replacing the entire calendar 
that was already there.  Because the calendar is uploaded using WebDAV, 
the calendar items don't really have any usernames at all associated with 
them, so it uses the username of the person doing the uploading.  
   
 You will unfortunately have to live with it for now.  For the 
not-too-distant future we are looking to improve the way Lightning talks 
to the Citadel calendar, either by adding GroupDAV (or even Citadel's own 
wire protocol) support to Lightning, or by adding CalDAV support to 
Citadel.  Either way we will gain the kind of granularity needed to avoid 
having to update the calendar by re-uploading the entire thing.
