- the status
What kind of status?
You don't do many meetings, do you? :) It's accepted, rejected, maybe
I should perhaps start arranging meetings with myself in order to better
understand the world outside :)
- optionally a remark.
Remark?
When replying to a meeting you can add a remark such as: "I'll be
available only for the first part of the meeting". The remark and the
status should come, either as env variables or via stdin, from
Mailmate I guess. Is that even possible? Remark is not a priority (I
guess).
I guess what I meant to ask was where this information is stored. If
it's inside the attachment then this part of the work should be left to
the bundle command itself. If it's somehow in the headers of the message
then MailMate should provide the values (and can do so using environment
variables).
Do you think they would be sufficient? Or do you need more detailed
control of the construction of the MIME message?
I don't know :)
Looking at the raw message of an invite, it looks like this. From
Python I could just supply the base64 encoded content. If Mailmate
would handle the rest: that'd be swell! :)
When MailMate can be told to attach something then it should just be a
`text/calendar` formatted file. Then that would be encoded as base64 by
MailMate.
```
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Type: text/calendar; charset="utf-8"; method=REPLY
```
Ok, what I thought was weird about this is that the above means that
MailMate should show the `text/calendar` part and ignore the
`text/plain` part. The `text/calendar` part is not really an attachment.
But I now realize that this is really how it's supposed to work (based
on the [RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6047)). The problem is that
MailMate doesn't know how to display `text/calendar` and therefore needs
to both display the `text/plain` part and make the `text/calendar` part
available to the user. I'll keep this in mind when looking into
attachments-handling via bundle commands.
