New submission from Bernhard Reiter <bernhard at intevation.de>:

With kolab-webclient-1.2.0-20081117,
it is possible that an invitation has the following lines:

ORGANIZER;CN=3DBest =C3=A4 1 Tester:mailto:best1 at burlywood1.rgb
ATTENDEE;ROLE=3DREQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=3DNEEDS-ACTION;RSVP=3DTRUE;CN=3D"H=
=C3=BCh
  h=C3=B6b":mailto:bernhard at intevation.de

Note that while CN in the ATTENDEE is quoted, the CN in the ORGANIZER is not,
this causes Outlook 2003 (11.8169.8172) SP3 (German as the XP SP3) to
not recognise the invitation, it is displayed as raw email where you can
see the iCalendar as text.

Note that there is a sister issue with Kontact:
kolab/issue3281 (Kontact does not quote CNs in iCalendar mails, which Outlook 
2003 (OL 2K3) then fails to recognise)
