Description of problem: There used to be a button for mailing events. Clicking that button allowed events to be mailed without first specifying participants. When clicking the button, kmail would be started and a new message window would appear with the event as an attachment and as plain text. The currently only available technique is to double-click on an event, click on the attendees tab, select an attndee, close the event, select it in case it has been deselected, and then click on publish (assuming you have made the scheduling toolbar visible). The event is then sent without any confirmation. I checked the available buttons (customize toolbars) and could NOT find the desired button. The "mail event" feature was great for me as: 1) I create many events on my palm and it is tedious to then edit every event and add an observer (my secretary who should not book conflicting events). 2) Furthermore, it was possible to mail an event to someone who is not a participant. 3) Finally, another advantage of mailing events, as opposed to publishing them is that one would see the new message window appear, which acted also as a confirmation that the event was mailed. Since it isn't easy to see which event is selected (the selected event has a slightly highlighted border), one keeps on wondering whether the right event was indeed published. I wonder whether the button wasn't elimited by mistake. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdepim-3.4.2-0.fc4.3 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start program 2. Look at toolbar buttons, the desired button is gone, although there still is a "Publish" button. 3. Actual results: The button is missing. "Publish will only work if a least one attendee was selected. Expected results: Either have a separate "mail event" function (better), or have the publish button bring up a "new message" kmail window no matter what, in which the recipients can then be indicated ... even when they are different from the reported attendees. Additional info: In Fedora Core 3 this still works, however, I am not sure in which update it changed or whether it was so since Core 4 was released. (I just installed Core 4 and noticed the lacking button).
it seems the KDE upstream has removed this. I don't know why they have removed it. If you like this feature, please fill new feature request on http//bugs.kde.org. It should be fixed in the KDE upstream.
