text/calendar attachments invisible in gnus

text/calendar attachments invisible in gnus

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

This is bizarre, I send myself with gnus a ics file
containing and invitation. 
When I send it as text/calendar I cannot see it in gnus,
only if I send it as application/octet-stream.

In Thunderbird I see it anyhow.

Just a guess, but it may be trying to inline everything text/*.

If you want to explore the MIME structure of an article, do `C-d' on the
article from the Summary buffer.

Do `q' to go back to the Summary buffer.

Hey,

i had posted a recipe for this in the past:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnus-english/2011-10/msg00046.html

Unfortunately I never figured out how to reply to these messages with
RSVP information and I never continued this patch to smooth some rough
edges like time display incl. timezone etc :/

Best Regards,
Leonidas Tsampros

I hacked a little on your recipe recently (my colleagues got a new
version of Outlook and now the HTML parts have no information, none what
so ever).

I grabbed some of the time zone stuff from one the the .el-files that
can import into org-mode (I think it was), and fiddled with various
other things (charset and some formatting).

I haven't figured the reply-bit out either, because my colleagues look
at my calender on the Exchange-server, and I'll bet (but I'll be happy
to lose the bet) that you need to use Outlook for that to work.

Anyway, here is my butchering of your recipe:


(add-to-list 'mm-inlined-types "text/calendar")
(add-to-list 'mm-automatic-display "text/calendar")
(add-to-list 'mm-inline-media-tests '("text/calendar" mm-inline-text-calendar identity))

(require 'icalendar)
(require 'boxquote)

(defun mm-inline-text-calendar (handle)
  (let ((text ""))
    (with-temp-buffer
      (mm-insert-part handle)
      (save-window-excursion
        (setq info (mapcar (lambda (s) (mm-decode-string s "utf-8"))
                           (format-text-calendar-for-display (icalendar--read-element nil nil))))))
    (let ((start (point)))
      (mm-insert-inline handle "\n")
      (mm-insert-inline handle (car info))
      (mm-insert-inline handle "\n")
      (goto-char start)
      (when (search-forward "DESCRIPTION " nil t)
        (replace-match "" nil t)
        (beginning-of-line)
        (fill-region (point) (point-max)))
      (boxquote-region start (point-max)))
    (boxquote-title (car (cdr info)))
    (mm-insert-inline handle "\n")))

(defun format-text-calendar-for-display (element)
  "Format a text/calendar element parsed by icalendar--read-element into text"
  (let ((fields '(LOCATION ORGANIZER DESCRIPTION))
        (fieldformat "%-11s %s\n")
        (content "")
        (first-date "")
        (last-date "")
        (title ""))
    (dolist (event (icalendar--all-events element))
      (let* ((zone-map (icalendar--convert-all-timezones element))
             (dtstart-zone (icalendar--find-time-zone (icalendar--get-event-property-attributes event 'DTSTART) zone-map))
             (dtstart (icalendar--decode-isodatetime (icalendar--get-event-property event 'DTSTART) nil dtstart-zone))
             (dtend-zone (icalendar--find-time-zone (icalendar--get-event-property-attributes event 'DTEND) zone-map))
             (dtend   (icalendar--decode-isodatetime (icalendar--get-event-property event 'DTEND) nil dtend-zone))
             (datestring (concat (icalendar--datetime-to-iso-date dtstart "-") " "
                                 (icalendar--datetime-to-colontime dtstart) "-"
                                 (icalendar--datetime-to-colontime dtend))))
        (when (string-equal first-date "")
          (setq first-date datestring))
        (setq last-date datestring)
        (dolist (field fields)
          (let ((propertyvalue (mapconcat (lambda (property)
                                            (icalendar--convert-string-for-import property)
                                            (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\n" "\n"
                                                                      (replace-regexp-in-string "^MAILTO:" "" property)))
                                          (icalendar--get-event-properties event field) " ")))
            (when (not (string-equal propertyvalue ""))
              (setq content (concat content (format fieldformat field (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\ " "" propertyvalue)))))))))
    (setq content (replace-regexp-in-string "\n\n$" "" content))
    (setq title (if (string-equal first-date last-date) first-date (concat first-date " ... " last-date)))
    (list content title)))


I hope some of it is useful.

Adam, thanks for this.  Now I can finally see these calendar events I get in
gnus.  It would be great to eventually be able to accept the Exchange invites in gnus,
but this is good enough for now.

You really should thank Leonidas Tsampros - I just mucked around a
little with his code :-)

I don't understand the last 2 functions. They are supposed to be in some
hook?

No.

Re-read the two first quoted lines above.

Ok. One function explained.

You cut the part of the code where the second function is used, so I'll
bring that snippet back:

  (defun mm-inline-text-calendar (handle)
    (let ((text ""))
      (with-temp-buffer
        (mm-insert-part handle)
        (save-window-excursion
          (setq info (mapcar (lambda (s) (mm-decode-string s "utf-8"))
                             (format-text-calendar-for-display (icalendar--read-element nil nil))))))

See? The second function is used by the first :-)

   Adam
