I have been thinking about 1 and 2 a bit, and it’s kind of hard to handle since you’re getting just the attachment, which means you have no idea whom it came from and stuff like that. I could probably parse the Organiser out but I don’t know if I have any way to know who YOU are. Also I’m not sure if mutt will be happy with me trying to read input after-the-fact, I will have to investigate that as well. Overall that is something that I would like to support. To address #3, there is nothing different between storing the data in your ~/.mailcap vs in ~/.config/configfile.something; they are both files on the file system and are only as secure as the permissions you put upon them and the general security of the machine. As long as you aren’t adding this to /etc/mailcap and letting it get used system wide it should be fine. That being said, because a few people have asked for it, the latest revision of the script now supports a config file, see the docs at the top of the new rev for information on how to use it.

I am glad to hear that this worked out for you. A few people have asked so the latest version of the script now supports a config file, however it should be noted that it is no more or less secure to store your password in .mailcap vs another file in your home directory.

I would really like to see my gmail credentials read out of a file (like .gcalclirc) and not appear in the mailcap.

Thanks for the script!

The only problem which is not even related to your script is that I was not aware that the calendar API only supports updating reminders on the primary calendar. Not sure what prompted google to have this limitation but it’s kinda lame. I had a separate work calendar and finally had to merge everything from it to my primary calendar.

it would be cool if:
1) view the event before adding it to my calendar
2) be able to pick calendar (maybe jsut based on current email account)
3) storing uname and pword in mailcap is just wrong. why not read a file?

anyway, this script rocks. if i have time i’ll try and add sth too it

ty for the work

Is there anyway to have it add to an alternative calendar? Not the default. I get an error about my username when using the -c option.

It would be nice if it could not display the credentials, as well, when adding to the calendar.

Beyond this, is there a way to not have it auto add? I am using auto_view for the magic entry, however I am not certain how to not use the auto_view, but invoke the insert if I would like to attend the meeting.

Thanks!

Also, if I try it on the command line, I am unable to post to a calendar that is not default.

Thanks for your little program, it fitted just right. I have made some minor tweaks (corrections, fixes, whatever), and I would like to give them back to you. If you are interested, please email me and I’ll show you what I’ve done.
