Description
Hi,
I am a big neomutt user for the management of my emails. When emails arrive with an attached.ics calendar file (for an appointment), I can't pipe it in khal.

I do get a request to be included in the agenda but the operation is aborted.

I have the impression that there is a time zone problem. My config looks like this:
[locale]
dateformat = %d/%m/%Y
longdateformat = %d/%m/%Y
datetimeformat = %d/%m/%Y %H:%M
longdatetimeformat = %d/%m/%Y %H:%M
firstweekday = 0
weeknumbers = left
#local_timezone = Europe/Paris
default_timezone = Europe/Paris
If you have an idea to solve this problem, it would help me!
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failed import by piping an attached .ics file from neomutt into khal with the provided Europe/Paris configuration. Trace the import and timezone handling until the failure is located; done means the appointment is imported successfully without aborting.
