    <p>I've been trying to send an iCalendar invite through smtp for a few days now. I'm using the DDay.iCal library to build the iCalendar component of the message and I'm using a more-or-less homegrown smtp server to send the message (unfortunately I'm stuck with this solution for the time being). </p> <p>I've messed around with a few different ways of doing this and I haven't had any luck. The result is usually that the recipient gets an email with a .ics attachment. In outlook, i can open the attachment and add it to my calendar; gmail will only let me download the attachment. It doesn't recognize it as a calendar invite.</p> <p>Below is an example of one of the scenarios I've tried. Can someone tell me what's wrong with it or what needs to be done to construct a proper calendar invite message?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <pre><code>Delivered-To: jordan_test@gmail.com Received: by 10.68.224.234 with SMTP id rf10csp257513pbc; Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:16:44 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.50.85.228 with SMTP id k4mr10905189igz.22.1346084204116; Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:16:44 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: &lt;283877=jordan_test=gmail.com@smtp.mycompany.com&gt; Received: from smtp.mycompany.com ([214.16.251.150]) by mx.google.com with SMTP id cw2si32587704icc.106.2012.08.27.09.16.43; Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:16:44 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 214.16.251.150 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of 283877=jordan_test=gmail.com@smtp.mycompany.com) client-ip=215.16.251.150; Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 215.16.251.150 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of 283877=jordan_test=gmail.com@smtp.mycompany.com) smtp.mail=283877=jordan_test=gmail.com@smtp.mycompany.com Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 16:16:43 GMT X-Mailer: BlahCommunicationsServices 1.0.0, by BLAH Inc.

    1. COBy the by, listing your own Message-Id in References is decidedly weird. If a message us not part if a thread, don't put in a References header.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
