The previous one didn't work with Outlook, but this one does.  I'll try it
in Sunbird and Korganizer here in a bit.

Subject: [Ldsoss] vcal export

Decided to start a new thread...

We haven't received much feedback on the last ical export - if anyone has
had success or problems with those exports please let us know. 

The vcal has been a little more challenging, particularly in how it deals
with events that do not have an associated end time. If we don't include the
DTEND then the mac ical client assumes a 24-hour duration, which puts it
across two days for all events other than those that start at midnight. So,
the current version in the dev environment does the following:

if there isn't an end date
 and if the start time is midnight
   don't put a DTEND field
 else (there is a start time...)
   set the value of DTEND to be the same a DTSTART which causes the 
   event to look like it takes up no time on the calendar else (there was a
end date)  set DTSTART to be the start date and DTEND to be the end date

The other issue with vcal is the quoted-printable format. I've reviewed the
associated RFC a few times and I think it is correct. The mac client doesn't
seem to like the =0D=0A stuff, but I'm not sure that should change. Attached
is a copy of the export. Those who have clients that take vcal let me know
if it works.
