On a loosely-related note, I find myself in the unfortunate position of being the target of Outlook-generated appointment emails (including a calendar attachment). In self-defense, I have begun looking at having these things automatically added to my org appointments, but I have had trouble with the emacs icalendar library (in particular, timezone handling: a critical item for me, since these appts are generated from various timezones and the included ics files have a bewildering variety of timezone specs in them - I blame M$ for this :) ). So I just wanted to point out three things: o there *is* an emacs elisp library to handle icalendar files. o I think it is buggy. o using the Python libraries is a great way to figure out where the elisp library goes wrong (assuming I'm right and that it *is* going wrong somewhere) and possibly fixing it. Thanks for pointing the Python libraries out. If you get somewhere with them, maybe you can fix the emacs icalendar library too: it might be just what you need to expand your elisp skills.[fn:1] Thanks, Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] Tom Sawyer would be proud of me ;-) I find myself pressed for time and with too many things to do, so it's not clear when (or even if) I would be able to work on this. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
