Importing .ics files from neomutt is broken

[teonnik]

After the most recent update to khal I get the following error when I try to import an .ics file from neomutt with the binding macro attach \Ck "<pipe-message>khal import <enter>" :

warning: /dev/tty does not exist, importing might not work
.... <event info> ....
Do you want to import this event into `private`? [y/N]: Aborted!
Press any key to continue...

and the event is not imported.

You can put this in your mailcap file:

text/calendar; khal import %s;

With this line, .ics files can just be opened from the attachment view, since they have the unique mimetype text/calendar.

[teonnik]

I am aware that this is an option but I have text/calendar; vcal %s; copiousoutput in my mailcap already... this allows me to view the event within neomutt. That is why I have macro attach \Ck "<pipe-message>khal import <enter>" defined, so that I can do the equivalent of what you suggest with it by pressing Ctrl+k.

@teonnik thank you for reporting that bug.

Can you confirm it worked with khal 0.10.4?

I cannot confirm if it worked before, but I am getting the exact same error message, either when trying to import an .ics through a mutt macro, or directly from the command line.

Using 0.10.5
