Quoth Grant Edwards on Wednesday, 23 February 2011: > A while back I was tinkering with a program that when piped an event > invitation from an .ics attachment, it would generate (based on a > command line option) an .ics accept/decline response that could then > be sent back to the invitation sender. > > I've also got some prototype code that can add events to a Google > calendar using the gdata API, but I think I'm going ditch that in > favor of the WebDAV API (which supports the .ics vCalendar format > directly). > > What I haven't figured out is how to hook this all up to Mutt. > > The scenario I was imagining would be: > > 1) While reading an "invitation" email with a .ics file attached, > > 2) Hitting a key to accept or decline would then, > > 3) Pipe the .ics file through an external program who's output > would then be > > 4) Attached to an reply e-mail that the user would could edit before > sending. > > The external program would be given a command-line option determining > whether the reply attachment would be an accept or a decline. > > Is there plumbing in mutt that would allow such a scenario? > > Another option would be to let the external program query the user as > to whether the invitation should be accepted or declined. > > A less desirable (but probably simpler to implemnet) option would be > to manually pipe the attachment to the program and rather than having > the program's output sucked back into mutt, the external program could > send the reply e-mail. > > -- > Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
