This happens for two reasons: 1. Mutt shows attachments at the bottom of a message, which was reasonable in the days before everyone top-posted; but now I never 2. Calendar invites are often part of a MIME multipart/alternative: I feel like I miss a lot in mail messages because mutt doesn't tell me about attachments.
Rather than bastardize Mutt to accommodate mis-use of e-mail (using it for generalized transport, rather than for communication) and perversions such as top-posting, a proper approach is to have two email addresses, and to run a different mail user agent for each. The first address is for efficient communication with rational and knowledgeable individuals; such communication is handled by Mutt. The second is for communication (which, regrettably, often is essential) with fluff-heads and with entities of the corporate realm (which is chained to M$); for this, use an agent such as Thunderbird. The more needs accommodated, the fewer needs served well. RLH
