Dear List,

Balsa can send a reply to an iTIP calendar event request with possible replies of "Accept", "Accept 
tentatively", or "Decline". It offers this possibility only the first time you read the request 
(actually, if it is marked as "Unread").

Balsa finds an identity to set the sender of the reply, by matching one of your 
identities to one of the attendees in the event request. But I sometimes 
receive a request that was sent to an email alias for which I haven't set up an 
identity, and in that case Balsa doesn't know how to send the reply, and does 
not show the three reply buttons. That confused me, as it looks the same as if 
the message had previously been read--the display is the same in each case.

So I feel that we should be more informative when there is no match. A simple fix is to 
make the reply buttons insensitive, and show some text explaining why. You can then find 
the address that was used and create an identity for it, toggle "Unread" on the 
message, and view it again; the buttons should then be sensitive.

Alternatively, we could add an identity combo-box like the "From:" selector on 
the compose window. It might be shown only when no match is found, with text to explain 
why it's there. Or it might be always shown, initialized to the correct identity if one 
is found.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Peter
