Repository files navigation

Ever received a meeting notification in an email? Ever wanted to have a quickglance at that.ics file and know what is that meeting about, where is itgoing to happen and who is participating?

I did. So I made this little script.

The package is on PyPI so it is pip-installable, but I recommend usinguv.

After installing with

uv tool install mutt_ics

and making sure themutt-ics executable is in your path, you should configuremutt to use it to render ICS files. To do that, complete the following steps:

1. Add the following lines to your.mailcap file:

    text/calendar; mutt-ics; copiousoutput application/ics; mutt-ics; copiousoutput

2. Add the following line to your.muttrc file:

    auto_view text/calendar application/ics

3. Formultipart/alternative e-mails (which is what e.g. Outlook calendar generates),you probably want to prefer thetext/calendar format view instead of its textualcounterparts. For such settings add another line to the.muttrc config file:

    alternative_order text/calendar text/plain text/html

You're done. I guess. Maybe I forgot something. Please, file a ticket if I did.
