Hi Carl,

The problem that you described with the Opie description and note should 
be fixed. I am syncing changes to both fields in both directions. Let me
know if things seem OK at your end too.

As you surmised in a later email, the timezone issue is partially an Opie 
problem. 

Right now Opie stores the date/time as a time_t (seconds since the Unix 
epoch). I convert incoming dates to time_t using the infomation I have 
available; the timezone of your PC. Sometimes Evolution will specify the 
timezone for the date with the data it provides (in a somewhat difficult 
to parse format) so I can try and use that adjust for the timezone rather 
than the timezone of your PC - I'll look into it.

However, there is no way for me to tell the Opie addressbook what 
timezone to display in at its end (or at least none that I can see...). 
You might want to consider filing a bug report with the Opie developers - 
let me know what they say :)

Tom
