Hi, I have an .ics invitation which open's up properly in Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, but doesn't open properly into Thunderbird. It does not display any details. I have removed "Description" so that Outlook 2016 will display it properly, but now Thunderbird doesn't. Please see below:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 14.0 MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:2.0 METHOD:PUBLISH X-MS-OLK-FORCEINSPECTOROPEN:TRUE BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:W.

In outlook it's displayed properly, but in Thunderbird it's showing without ANY description. Is there a way to make it compatible with Outlook and Thunderbird? Did I missed something in the code?

Is .ics sent as an attachment ? To read, have you got this selected ? 'View' > 'display attachments inline'

Hi Toad,

Yes, that's already checked, still not displaying the Description.

I also checked the link, not helping.
