TL;DR I don't have a solution yet. --- I've had this draft idea for integrating calendar support for notmuch-emacs for a long time now. You'd have a command-line tool for actually managing the calendar, and some elisp glue code to integrate that to notmuch-emacs, as well as with something to pretty display of the calendar. (I'm personally not a fan of org-mode, so I pretty much ruled that out from the start for anything I'd use myself. YMMV.) I got as far as writing the beginnings of a notmuch-like command-line tool, "late", for calendar search [1]. It's actually usable for searching, but it doesn't do much else. I'd like it to be able to generate calendar invites and replies to them, in a way that's easy to use from notmuch-emacs. For the display of calendar information in emacs, I thought calfw looked pretty [2]. It does seem to be a bit abandoned, unfortunately, and I haven't checked the status lately. It wasn't too hard to make notmuch-emacs display calender information using calfw, but to make it more useful, you'd have to take the calendar in the email, combine that with the user's calendar using the cli tool, and then feed it to calfw to show the calendar event in context. And add bindings to actually do stuff instead of just view. I ran out of steam and time with this a bit, and anyway I don't have the elisp skills for integrating this nicely to notmuch-emacs. So the project is, uh, late. :p BR, Jani.
