Is there way to make Thunderbird able to update my Google Calendar
with attachments that appear to be TNEF encouded Outlook calendar
invites?

IN TB i see the body of the mail like this:

> When: Tuesday, 26 February 2013 1:00 PM-2:00 PM (UTC+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney.
> Where: Dial in as below
>
> Note: The GMT offset above does not reflect daylight saving time adjustments.
>
> *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

followed by the text added by the organizer.

However, I don't get any option 'accept' or 'reject' or add this
to my calendar.


The raw mail looks something like this:

This second part should be decoded and offered for adding to my calendar.
Is there an add-on that can do this?


my Android mailer shows the mail body as

BEGIN: VCALENDAR
METHOD: REQUEST
PRODID: Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
VERSION 2.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
...
END:VEVEMT
END:VCALENDAR

LookOut is a plugin which allows Thunderbird to interface with
Microsoft's mail tools by decoding metadata and attachments
encapsulated/embedded in a TNEF encoded attachment
