I used vcalender long ago, but then had no use for it, but I am now getting a
lot of important emails from the university where I have an adjunct
appointment. I work at home and I do not have the Windows nonsense that full
time members of the department have to use. I use mutt as I have done for
longer than I can now remember.
In my mailcap I have:-
text/calendar; /home/brian/.mutt/vcalendar-filter; copiousoutput
application/ics; /home/brian/.mutt/vcalendar-filter; copiousoutput
from long ago.
I have now got the second line to work when there is a *.ics attachment.
I had to download and install several perl modules used by vcalendar-filter
which were not on my current machine.
However I get messages where the whole email is text/calendar with
nothing else. Typing 'v' just shows:-
1 [ 8.6K] "<no description>" quoted-printable text/calendar
Opening that gives:-
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

and so on. Is that expected or is there a way to get something
a bit more useful?
It is a long time ago when I added anything usefull to the mutt project, so
many thanks to all who have kept it going so well over the years. It must also
be many years since I posted here.
Cheers, Brian.

Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers
come out?". I am not able rightly to comprehend the kind of confusion of
ideas that could provoke such a question.
