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.

It seems you got a couple of somewhat promising replies. I cannot offer to look into the RFCs and what exactly needs to be done to make this work, but if someone does this part of the work then I promise to help making it into a bundle including adding any features needed to do that.


Benny, I'm willing to give it a try. A couple of questions before beginning:

- How does the bundle call the script? What kind of information would be available and how are they passed? In particular I would need:
  - the email account this was sent to/the account that received it;
  - the attachment (i.e. the invite);
  - the status
  - optionally a remark.
- And how does mailmate parse the reply? For example the invite needs to be encoded in base64. - Is there a preference for programming languages? I'm mostly familiar with Python.

You can all have a look [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4823574/sending-meeting-invitations-with-python) for a minimal Python implementation.

Replying is much easier though: you just need to change the content of one line of the invite (assuming no notes are added).

Cheers,

Giovanni
