Description
Having the ability to view and accept (including sending a reply (!)) meetings on mobile would be a pretty great option.
Steps required for this:
- ical/vcalendar parsing (copy and paste logic from e.g. GNOME Evolution (https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/)
- Displaying event information in mail.
- Add parsed event to calendar.
- Offer to send response to organizer/all attendees.
- Create response (yet another vcalendar) and send it, if requested.
Step four should probably not forget the security signing hook (e.g. openkeychain).

Research direction
Start by breaking the requested work into the five listed areas: iCalendar/vCalendar parsing, event display, calendar integration, attendee responses, and response creation. Review the Android app's mail and calendar-related entry points, then determine how signing hooks such as OpenKeychain fit the response flow. Done requires supporting the requested invitation lifecycle on mobile.
