[OX User] OX Webmail & .ics Meeting Invites

Thanks for your reply Rob,

I am using community edition v0.8.2-2 which appears to be the newest
according to the OX website. Where did you get v0.8.2-5?

Following your same procedure my test user simply sees an email with
an .ics attachment and the following message body:
------------------------------
Confirmation
The object no longer exists on the server.

Begins: 28/09/2006 9:00 AM Pacific/Auckland 
Ends: 28/09/2006 10:00 AM Pacific/Auckland 

Location: Office

/servlet/showobject?object_id=6231&module=calendar 
------------------------------

The first 2 lines are interesting - maybe that is what should be my
confirmation dialog box. Export doesn't work either - when I click on
Export next to the ics attachment I get a pop up box with:
------------------------------
Unable to add iCal.
Details: Errot at line 9, column 1: Incomplete object
------------------------------

Not sure where to go from here, anyone have any suggestions?

Gavin
