In Mozilla Thunderbird when I receive an invitation message from MS Outlook I get a meeting.ics file as an attachment. It also create an event in built-in calendar (Lightning). The meeting.ics file can contain some attributes which are not available in calendar. For example Skype/MS Teams URL:

X-MICROSOFT-SKYPETEAMSMEETINGURL:https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/XXXXXXXXXXXXX

How I can read it (or click it in case of URL) directly in Thunderbird? Is there an add-on? Now I must save the meeting.ics attachment to a file and open it in text editor to get the URL.

I wish it was fixed in Thunderbird 91, but the bug/mis-feature is still there in 91.10.0 on Windows. In fact, I just encountered the problem (again) today (30 August 2022).

Had the same problem, got many emails with Microsoft Teams invite but don't know the meeting start datetime, very annoying. This is what i did.

  1. At Thunderbird, use "View Source" to show the raw email content.
  2. Since its a multipart email, scroll to the base64 section of the email, usually its at the end.
  3. Copy-paste the base64 content into any Base64 Decoder program/website.
  4. Look for DTSTART and DTEND, should look something like this..

DTSTART;TZID=AUS Eastern Standard Time:20230303T120000

DTEND;TZID=AUS Eastern Standard Time:20230303T123000

The info is pretty intuitive..
