[Hoary] vCalendar email attachments broken

[Brett Johnson]

This is evolution 2.2.1.1-0ubuntu1 from hoary main.

When I receive a vcal attachment, it is not displayed, but an error message is
displayed saying:
"The item in the calendar is not valid"
"The message does contain a calendar, but the calendar contains no events, tasks
or free/busy information"

A little googling indicates that this message (and the likely source of the
breakage) was inserted recently upstream:

That works fine here. What do you put as informations for the meeting ?

Created an attachment (id=1850)
Test case email with vcalendar attachment

Here's a meeting I just created that exhibits the behavior in my client.

thanks, seems to happen for events not happening for the whole day

Created an attachment (id=2009)
patch to fix/workaround the problem.

Given the less-than-dizzying pace at which the ximian bug is being looked at,
here's a patch that will reverse the damage induced by the previously
referenced ximian patch.

Note that I don't really understand why the attachment isn't of type VEVENT,
since the example attachment looks like it is to me... So this patch is
probably not the correct fix for the actual problem. But it does restore the
ability for evolution to see/accept meeting invitations, which takes care of my
complaint anyway ;)
