Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create an event that repeats, once a week, with some attendees. They get a proper invitation mail, all fine.
  2. Cancel/Delete a single occurence "later" on
  3. Mail is send to attendees - and it closely mirrors the initial invitation mail. It says "Invite", has an "Accept" and "Decline" Button, and all the event details.
Expected behavior

Mail gets send to attendees, saying "Event cancelled" (or something more specific for just that occurrence).

Actual behaviour

Wrong mail, full invitation, send.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the weekly recurring-event scenario and deleting one later occurrence with attendees. Trace the cancellation email generated by that action and compare it with the invitation email; done means the message identifies the occurrence as cancelled and no longer presents invitation actions or wording.
