Re: How do I send invitations to external people?
[In reply to]

Ha, it works now!
The trick seems indeed to be related to "$c->enable_auto_schedule =
false;", but I had to remove and recreate my calendar in thunderbird to
make lightning allow me sending invitations by mail. Apparently
lightning seem to remember the capability of the server, and
removing/recreating the calendar make it repolling the 'auto_schedule'
capability.
Thanks for your help!
