Mutt and Google Calendar
I’ve been meaning to throw this out there for a bit. I wrote a little python shim to connect mutt to Google Calendar. My particular use-case is as follows. I use fetchmail to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server at work which delivers mail into an IMAP account that I check with mutt. Appointments and conference calls show up as .ics files attached to messages. I use Google Calendar connected to my BlackBerry to keep track of all the stuff I do so I need a quick and easy way to get those events out of mutt into my Google Calendar.
Enter ics-gcal.py.
I associate this script to the ics / vcs files and simply exec the attachment from within mutt. This adds it to my Google Calendar.
You can find the script in my CVS web repository.
I’d be super interested if anyone else finds this useful.
