yesterday, i faced an incompatibility problem between the horde  
distlist code and the toltec distlist handling:

the kolab format demands this MIME type for distlists (as implemented  
in the new horde code fragments):
application/x-vnd.kolab.distribution-list

toltec uses this MIME type... (??? this is not kolab xml format compliant !!!)
application/x-vnd.kolab.contact.distlist

additionally, toltec adds another attachment of the MIME type:
application/x-outlook-tnef

after decoding both toltec base64 encoded attachments, it seems like  
the first (application/x-vnd.kolab.distribution-list) is fully kolab  
xml format compliant (apart from the MIME type), and the latter adds  
some binary stuff that helps to implement the full outlook address  
book / distlist functionality into the kolab IMAP storage system.

thus for kolab, we have to adapt kolab to the toltec MIME type / agree  
on a unique MIME type with the toltec people and see what happens, if:

   1. a horde distlist is synced into outlook/toltec (and viewed+edited+synced
      back)
   2. an outlook/toltec distlist is synced to kolab and viewed/edited with
      horde and again synced back into outlook/toltec

are there any toltec people listening to this thread???

best,
mike
