mu4e: can't accept (M$ outlook) invitation

[Edgar Lux]

Hi. Sorry for the spam. "G00gle groups" (mailing list for mu4e) requires an account with their mail service to post, and I prefer not to have an account with Micro$oft (GitHub). I am having issues with my calendar (in general). I moved to mu4e (mbsync + msmtp) to see if this can improve my life (I'm new). Thank you in advance.

* Description of the situation
When I open a message with an invitation and hit on Accept (with the point or mouse):

    >>>   Attachments: [2. text/plain] [3. text/calendar]...
    >>>   [ Uninvited Accept ]    [ Uninvited Tentative ]    [ Uninvited Decline ]    

I am getting the following message:

    >>>   message-position-on-field: Search failed: "^--text follows this line--$"

This seems triggered by =gnus-icalendar-reply=.


* Expected behaviour

I would like the event to show up in Org Agenda (org-diary) or be added to a specific file.

* System

(mu4e-server-version)
"1.10.7" 

(emacs-version)
GNU Emacs 29

I don't have any extensions to mu4e, that I know.


* Extra config

The following was tested with emacs -q
