but i already know that i need to attend to it. I'm previewing it. Or maybe
i'm not ready
to either decline or accept it yet.

It puts it there to tell you that you have an appointment that you need to
attend to, either to send an accept or decline. If it didn't and you have a
huge inbox, you might not get to the appointment item until after the
appointment time has lapsed. This way, it shows in your calendar, and when
you realize you know nothing about that appointment, you have the chance to
go back to your in-box, open (or preview the appt.) and accept or decline.
