FYI, if you're on a Mac, it's fairly easy to let mutt handle
calendar (and vcard) attachments with the usual Apple applications;
from my ~/.mailcap:

  text/calendar; waitopen -a /Applications/iCal.app %s; nametemplate=%s.ics
  text/directory; waitopen -a /Applications/Address\\ Book.app %s; 
nametemplate=%s.vcf
  text/x-vcard; waitopen -a /Applications/Address\\ Book.app %s; 
nametemplate=%s.vcf

waitopen is this:

  #!/bin/sh

  echo "Launching application..."
  open "$@"
  echo -n "Press Enter to continue..."
  read dummy

(The usual problem of open terminating before the process that was
launched as actually acquired the file that's being passed.)
