Re: [Nmh-workers] iCalendar support

Okay, you're going to (fairly) point out this makes things harder.
I can't disagree with that.  It's just ... we're starting to now
grapple with some truely hard problems, like how exactly a MIME
reply is supposed to work.  This is something a lot of MUAs don't
deal with very well.  I think we owe it to ourselves to try to get
it right.

I'm not sure what "right" is here.  Can we have a cleaner
interface to accept a calendar request than what's on phones
now?  No, clicking on "accept" is as simple as it can get.
As a user, I'd be happy to use repl or some shell alias to do
it.

I was more thinking about preserving MH's historic flexibility.  I guess
my point was I'd prefer something like this (all are aliases to 'repl')

calaccept: -typearg text/calendar accept
calreject: -typearg text/calendar reject

Rather than:

calaccept: -calendar accept
calreject: -calendar reject

Does that make sense?  I don't really like the name 'typearg', I was just
trying to make the point that I'd like the options to repl be able to be
used for any MIME type.
