I'm trying to wrap my head around how RSVPing to calendar invites
works. I appreciate how easy this is for example in gmail/outlook.
Now, my situation might be a little bit specific. I have no offline
calendar configured whatsoever. This means, that I don't care that the
calendar event sent is important in a calendar. I just want to RSVP to
the invite. As far as I have understood the standard at this point,
this should basically just be another email reply with another .ics
file attached. I might be wrong about this though.
Has anybody dealt with this before? My ideal scenario would be control
elements to respond with "yes/no/maybe" in Mailmate whenever a meeting
invite comes in.
Once upon a time, I had a Perl script I used as a Mutt hook that did
exactly this (well - it always said "yes"). Unfortunately, I can't seem
to find it now. I'll look at old backups, but I've been using a
calendar for a while now.
As far as I remember, it wasn't all that difficult: read in the original
ics file and send it back with your name filled in, as Sam wrote. I
seem to recall that Microsoft Exchange was quite picky about the MIME
type of the attachment but other than that, it was straightforward.
I'll see if I can find my script somewhere. It should not be too
difficult to turn it into a MailMate bundle. Might be quicker to just
write a new script.
