vcalendar appearing as plain text in email body instead of attachment
A user received vcalendar invite as plain text in the email body instead of as an attachment. I have been trying to replicate the same email by sending/forwarding a .vcs file in a html/plain text/rich text format email but the .vcs file remains as an
attachment throughout. anyone has some insight on how this could have occured?
part of the email body looks like this

If you don't have the original e-mail, as it arrived from the sender,
you can only speculate that the message was formatted incorrectly/

so i supposed it falls back to pipeline tracing. are there any possibilities other than that which might involve ex2010? i just need a confirmation so that i can tell the user without going through all sorts of troubleshooting just for one off
vcalendae issue.

Hi
According to your post : invalid format for vcalendar causes the error. It doesn’t involve ex2010.
If you want to troubleshoot it, please check your network setting and firewall.
This is valid format for vcalendar. Maybe it is helpful to you.

Without the original message you have no way of knowing if it was
formatted properly. If it was, then you need to solve the problem
(maybe with the help of PSS). If the message was incorrectly formatted
then the problem isn't yours to fix.
