I am not sure I understand this.  Just in case this helps: I had to
configure my Outlook account to format calendar requests using iCalendar
format when Outlook was accessed using imap.  This was an option
available in the Outlook Web App (I cannot run Outlook itself on any
machine I have) but only available once I prodded our systems people to
enable that feature.  I think it is only available in Outlook 2013
(2014?) or newer.

Now any calendar request that comes in shows me all the various options
(accept, reject, add to org, ...) in my gnus Article window!

Thx! I'll ask collegues to check if they have that option.

The Accept/Decline buttons are only shown if the recipient is marked as
RSVP. It could be your response is not required by the meeting
organizer, or gnus-icalendar failed to identify your email address on
the attendee list.
