Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I don't use Nextcloud for emails, but I do use the Calendar feature sometimes since it ties easily with Talk. When I set-up a calendar meeting in Nextcloud, it doesn't get added to my Outlook calendar because the Calendar app doesn't send an invitation and a .ics file to the organiser.
Describe the solution you'd like
I want an option to "send invitation email" to the organiser as well as other participants.
Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment, I work around this problem by "inviting" myself again using an alias email address, so you see my name twice in the event, one with my Nextcloud profile email, and the other to an alias email address.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing calendar event creation and invitation-email handling, then verify how the organiser is represented and how the .ics invitation is generated; done means an option sends the organiser an invitation email that imports correctly into Outlook without duplicating participants.
