Even in the sample email that was submitted the message can be opened viewed and all the invite information is present. It's not "lost". Question I have is more that the invite correctly interpreted and displayed in the message offers no interface (that I see) where you could save or run the invite against an external calendar.

For example here on OSX I expected to see a .ics or calendar attachment that I could save to my desktop. But that option doesn't exist instead if I wanted to enter this information into iCal I would have to manually create the invite.

This seen via TB3B4, fresh install no addons or anything. I do see the same behavior in TB2 so (OSX again) I'm wondering if this is by design? Is this a ''bug'' or an interface design decision? Should I be able to save/view/ download the Calendar information from a message?

Assumption is that the same logic that interprets 'text and html' and doesn't provide and interface for "saving the Text Version" of a the original email and doesn't display a multipart message with text and html versions as having attachments is what 'hides' you from being able to save a calendar invite?

(mind you if this is seen entirely off topic from this posted bug let me know and I'll take my thoughts elsewhere)
