[kronolith] "accept" vs "accept and add to my calendar"

Hi Andrei,

that invitation e-mail contains multiple parts - a text/html version  
that can be used to display the event information and a standardized  
calendar entry, that can be used by the MUA to create a special  
display version with MUA-specific features like "add to calendar".

It's up to the MUA to select which version to display.

I cannot qualified answer to this part - but you'd usually have to  
have some calendar-specific implementation to handle the invitation -  
in other words, MacMail would have to know how to notify kronolith  
about (changes in) scheduled events.

Just my 2 cents
