Invitations for Events are nor sent automatically

Hi *,
i have trouble in replacing Outlook on my wifes PC with Thunderbird (which i myself use for years) and successfully synch her WM 6.1 Events with TB/Lightning.
The story so far: My wife has bought a used Omina i900 WM6.1 Device. On her desktop PC up to now she only had installed OL2003. When creating an event on her WM61 device with me as a participant, and synchin' it with ActiveSync 4.5. and her OL2003 i only get a Mail with an attached winmail.dat-File that was nor recognized by TB/Lightning as an invitation. Cruel enough it is the same situation with our OL2007-Systems (on our respecting Company-Notebooks). So i was looking for a replacement for her private used OL2003 and decided to install the very freshest Versions of TB/Lightning and BS:
TB : 3.0 Release
Lightning : 1.0b2pre
BS : 2.0.0.0beta-p
I imported everything from her OL2003 into TB and items which could not be imported (Events and Tasks) i initially synched with BS directly after installaton. Now she has a fully functional TB/Lightning/BS configuration that is almost working perfect. Almost ? Yes, almost. The problem now is the following. When i create an Event on her WM6.1 device with me as an invitee, the Event gets perfectly synched with her local TB/Lightning. But there is no invitation being sent to me. I have to open the Event on her local TB ("Notify Attendees" is already checked) and save and close the Event. Then i am being asked whether i would like to send out the notification email now. When i say Yes, then the invitation/notification is being sent out and when receiving it in TB on my PC i finally can also accept events sent from her WM61 device.
Did i miss any configuration setting ?
best regards and thanks for this very useful piece of software. When you now could implement an interface to MediaMonkey to use MMs Config to Sync Playlists and to synch any Folder-Structure (e.g. my Family-JPGs ) you like to, to a user-definable destination folder... it would be perfect
best regards
