How to reply to a mail meeting invitation with neomutt

Unix & Linux Asked by L. Niesen on November 6, 2021

How do I reply to an Ical/ICS/vcal invite in neomutt or more specific with terminal programs. I can import them to calcurse, but I need to reply too.

One Answer

Here is a method to view and reply to ical invitations:

https://github.com/marvinthepa/mutt-ical

Tim Hentenaar's solution can be used for adding invitations to calcurse, and this can be used to view invitations and reply.

Installation instructions from the repository's README:

mutt-ical.py is meant as a simple way to display and reply to ical invitations from mutt.

It was originally authored by Martin Sander, and later modified by Dominic White.

Installing

  1. Copy it into somewhere in your PATH, (or you can specify the PATH in your .mailcap) 2) Edit your mailcap (~/.mailcap or /etc/mailcap) to have the following line:

    text/calendar; <path>mutt-ical.py -i -e "[email protected]" %s
    application/ics; <path>mutt-ical.py -i -e "[email protected]" %s
    

(Don't forget to add your email address)

[ ... ]

Usage

To reply, just open the ical file from mutt by:

  1. Viewing the attachements (usually 'v')
  2. Invoking the mailcap entry (usually 'm')
  3. Choosing your reply
