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.
