Is there any way to get Thunderbird to show ICS files? Right now it just shows the contents as unusable trash in the email body.

Before anyone says it, toggling 'Display attachments inline' doesn't do anything. Enabling a calendar in Thunderbird allows the 'accept' etc buttons, but then I have to deal with the headache of a calendar in Thunderbird and still doesn't show the ICS file so I can use it with my actual calendar app.

What is the source of these ICS files?

While I know they are text files and toggling the display of attachments inline should control Thunderbird desire to display the contents. That toggling the inline display does not would indicate the email is itself damaged or malformed.

Even if there is a garbled mess in the email body in a correctly formed email there should still be an ics attachment to be manipulated as any other file.

BTW what is the superior calendar program you are using?

Anything at all. I don't think I've ever seen an ICS file attachment in Thunderbird. If I open the same email in another program it's there.

If it matters (it doesn't), the calendar program I typically use is the built-in calendar app on the Mac. I never said it was superior; that's you being snide. BTW.

Yes, that's what I would like to see, but never have in Thunderbird.
