Works fine for Apple iCal and I don't see any escaped characters in the descriptions. Looking at RFC 2445 it looks like the value type for Description is TEXT which is defined as: text = *(TSAFE-CHAR / ":" / DQUOTE / ESCAPED-CHAR) TSAFE-CHARs (type safe characters) are: Space 0x20 '!' 0x21 (Skipping double quote) '#' to '+' 0x23 to 0x2B (Skipping commas) '-' to '9' 0x2D to 0x39 (Skipping ':' and ';') '<' to '[' 0x3C to 0x5B (Skipping '\') ']' to '~' 0x5D to 0x7E ":" and DQUOTE (double quote) are added. ESCAPED-CHAR (escaped characters are: '\' escaped by "\\" ';' escaped by "\;" ',' escaped by "\," (new line) escaped by "\n" or "\N" So it looks like you may need to escape '\' and newlines as well (if there are any). -stacey. _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
