One accepts/declines by replying with an e-mail that contains a
vcalendar attachement per RFC-2445. Thunderbird+Lighting
appears to be a good way to generate example responses if
you're on a Linux system.
I'm going to have a go at writing a command-line program to
generate accept/decline vcalendar objects that can then be sent
as attachments in mutt. The current plan is to write the app
in Python using the iCalendar module:
