Re: [Evolution] handler for text/x-vcalendar?

[Marc Kupietz <marc kupietz uni-bielefeld de>]

I was probably not clear enough about what I would like to have.

For example: I would like to add the next Sopranos episode to my calendar by
clicking the corresponding "text/x-vcalendar"-link of my online tv-magazine.

With Outlook this is simple: you have to register "outlook /vcal %1" as
helper application to handle .vcs-files and when you click .vcs-links a filled
out "add date" form pops up.

I thought this was so obviously useful, it should be possible with evolution
too. E.g. with something like "evolution vcal:/tmp/sopranos_iv_1.vcs", but that
doesn't work...

Is there a way to do it?
