Hi James,

Thanks for getting back to me!

This also gives a 'No applicable method' error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cl-no-applicable-method: No applicable method:
gnus-icalendar-event:sync-to-org, (#<killed buffer> ("text/calendar")
nil nil (attachment (filename . "file.ics")) nil nil nil), nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think the reason is that 'gnus-icalendar-sync-event-to-org' expects an
'event' as input but a 'handle' is instead passed.

'gnus-icalendar-save-part' does expect and does correctly receive a
'handle' but it then fails for the reasons explained in my previous
email. Considering the signature, it'd seem that
'gnus-icalendar-save-part' is the appropriate method?

I'd be tempted to send a patch along the lines of option 2 from my other
email and then see what reviewers think. Unless you've any other idea
around 'gnus-icalendar-sync-event-to-org' or if I've
missed/misinterpreted any of the steps.

Thanks, cheers, Fabio.
