We cannot traverse mime parts directly in Sieve (not implemented in 
Cyrus it seems), but we can add a mime_header_check to postfix that 
adds a header if the message contains a text/calendar part:

/^content-type:\s+text\/calendar/ PREPEND X-Kolab-Schedulemsg: TRUE

and then we can check for that header in Sieve. If we send the 
text/calendar in the body of the mail, we can just do a header check 
right away with Sieve:

if( header :contains "Content-Type" "text/calendar" ) {
	keep; # Keep in INBOX
	stop;
}
fileinto "INBOX/Inbox"; # Copy everything else
