Hi all,

attached is a patch with a number of small improvements regarding libical 
support:

(1) Debian oldstable (stretch) comes with libical2, but seems to work 
flawlessly with the new code using libical, so we can reduce the requirement to 
libical2 instead of libical3.
(2) Apparently, M$ Exchange and/or Outlook are broken (surprise!) and do not 
process iCal “REPLY” messages containing exactly the fields as required by RFC 
5546, sect. 3.2.3.  Needles to mention that Thunderbird, Kontact, … do /not/ 
show any issues with them.  After adding some optional fields, the messages are 
recognised…  As a positive side-effect, such messages are better readable for 
the recipient as they contain more (redundant) information which the receiving 
MUA would typically extract from the invitation.
(3) Messages containing a text/calendar part only are not really useful if the 
receiving MUA does not support this MIME type, but displays the “raw” format 
only.  As a solution, pack the text/calendar as 2nd part into a 
multipart/alternative, and add a text/plain part containing some human-readable 
information as 1st one.
(4) Store the transmitted replies in the sentbox.

The patch applies to both the master and gmime3 branches.

Opinions?

Cheers,
Albrecht.

Thanks for the patch--looks good!

I've applied to master and pushed it; I will rebase the gmime3 branch and push 
that too (and popover, too).

Best,

Peter
