Well, I was figuring you would probably want to save the invite as a reminder,
thus the save-to-file step. Once it's in the file you can then do 'rsvp y|n
filename' where rsvp is the script that cracks the file picks out the return
address, and sends an appropriate yes/no reply message. Or have the script take
a message number and let it extract the invite attachment for you.
I can't image you receiving a message with more than one invite in it, so if
message 100 contains the invite, the rsvp script could accept a message number,
dig in to find the appropriate mime section, parse the reply address, and
compose/send an appropriate response. E.g. rsvp no 100.
And if you do think you might get more than one invite, extend the script to
accept sub-part identifiers: rsvp yes 100.3
It might be a bit tedious to code up, but it's certainly not hard.
