Hi Peter:

Balsa can send a reply to an iTIP calendar event request with possible replies of "Accept", "Accept 
tentatively", or "Decline". It offers this possibility only the first time you read the request 
(actually, if it is marked as "Unread").

Also a rough edge...  It might be better to add a custom header to the message store 
(e.g. "X-Balsa-iTIP-Reply: (Accept|Tentativ|Decline)") indicating the last 
operation when present.  We could then always offer the three buttons (maybe make the one 
of the last choice insensitive?), and display this information if present, so the user 
would have a chance to change his/her mind later.

Balsa finds an identity to set the sender of the reply, by matching one of your 
identities to one of the attendees in the event request. But I sometimes 
receive a request that was sent to an email alias for which I haven't set up an 
identity, and in that case Balsa doesn't know how to send the reply, and does 
not show the three reply buttons. That confused me, as it looks the same as if 
the message had previously been read--the display is the same in each case.

Yes, that's confusing!

Alternatively, we could add an identity combo-box like the "From:" selector on 
the compose window. It might be shown only when no match is found, with text to explain 
why it's there. Or it might be always shown, initialized to the correct identity if one 
is found.

I vote for always showing the identity and the buttons.  Not sure how much work 
remembering the last choice (see above) would be, but I think this would be 
really helpful.

Cheers,
Albrecht.
