+Handle Event Invitations
+========================
+
+In chapter :ref:`calendar-event-participants` we have learned how to invite
+other people to an event. This will send out invitation emails to all the
+participants with the event data attached. That allows one to directly accept
+or decline an event invitation.
+
+
+Receive Event Invitations
+-------------------------
+
+When the webmail system opens an invitation email with event data attached, it'll
+display a yellow box in the preview pane or the email view:
+
+.. image:: _static/_skin/itip-invitation.png
+
+Accept/Decline Invitations
+--------------------------
+
+Right in the box shown above, you can accept or decline the invitation by clicking the according
+button. This will send an automated response to the event organizer informing her about your
+decision and letting her update your participant status in her calendar.
+
+In case you accept, by either clicking *Accept* or *Maybe*, this will also copy
+the event into your personal calendar. The selector right next to the buttons lets you
+choose the right one.
+
+The copy in your calendar now knows about the invitation and its original sender. If you now
+delete it from your calendar, you'll be asked whether this should send a declination
+message to the person who organizes the event.
+
+After acceping or declining, the email message containing the invitation can be deleted.
+
+
+Process Invitation Replies
+--------------------------
+
+As an organizer who has invited others to an event, you'll receive responses to the
+automatically sent invitations when the attendees either accept or decline them.
+
+Such messages are also identified by the webmail system and again a yellow box appears
+in the message view:
+
+.. image:: _static/_skin/itip-reply.png
+
+By clicking the *Update the participant's status* button, the original event in
+your calendar will be updated with the RSVP status from the person who responded here.
+
+When you now look at the event details in the calendar view, the status icons next
+to each participant now displays the new status.
