Re: [Nmh-workers] Future thoughts: better MIME processing

When I get a calendar request, I want to first "show" it.  Okay, that's
easy to understand.  I could write something to take a text/calendar
object and convert it to something more easily readable.

docs/README-iCalendar has a very crude setup using calcurse
to show what's in a calendar request.  I don't use calcurse
for anything else, but I've found that to be useful enough.

But the NEXT thing I want to do is store it to my calendar.
[...]
The real issue to me is ... what is this operation?  It's
not a "store", because to me a "store" is just saving the
file.  A "process"?  A different kind of "show"?  Not sure
just yet.

"save", or better, use an MH-style abbreviation of "save[tocalendar]"?

Replying is it's own thing.  Most text content, you want to quote
back as part of the reply.  A calendar entry you want to reply to
saying you either accept or reject the request.

A calendar reply (accept, decline, etc.) has just a few
changes from the request, so the mechanics of that shouldn't
be difficult.
