This test will verify that the Briar app and mailbox behaviour is as expected when a sender sends invitation to join their private group to the contact who is offline, and who may the MB app installed, or not, and who may export their acceptance or decline via removable media or via mailbox, or answer directly by connecting via internet or BT.
- invite multiple contacts - some of whom are offline some online
- export the invitation to removable media
- invite via internet, but reply via MB
- invite multiple contacts via BT, reply via mailbox, exporting the replies and via internet.
- sender offline, their MB comes online later, then their contact comes online (after the invitation has been uploaded to sender's MB)
- sender doesn't have MB, but the invitee has
- ender does not have the MB, invitee installs and pairs it after the invitation has already been created
